As she drove, I noticed that her left directional (blinker) was operating at
a very slow cycle compared to the right directional.
I mentioned to her that she should check the lights in her blinkers because
it appeared that one of them on the left side was probably burned out.

Her response?

"Oh, is *that* what it is? I noticed it before, but figured it was because
I've been using regular gas instead of premium."

Not a joke.

Heh, makes sense. All my daughters are the same way.
I think I looked into it when she got the car, and told her
she's better off with premium because she'll pay more in mileage and
detonation by using regular.
One son has a Caddy that needs premium and its the same deal with that
engine. Some engines can probably handle it.
But maybe your wife is right. Unheard detonation on the right bank is
affecting the left turn signal. Because. like the brain, right side
controls left activities.
She should be a mechanic.
