Increase Your Fuel Mileage And Save Gas

Some of us do not have it so good as to walk out the front door and be at work or the bus is right on the corner a stones throw away and the closest business to my house is, you guessed it a GAS STATION. I have to drive to work and it is only 10 miles to work round trip. I wish I could ride a bike or motorcycle but i do not want to leave my family without a father. So since I do have to drive lets make the best of it and maintain our vehicles in tip top shape.

Does anybody know the real difference between the 2 grades of fuel? I have been in the repair field along time and all I know is there is no difference between the two except the octane rating. You ask what is octane rating? Well this is the way the petroleum industry rates the antiknock quality of gasoline, the higher the number on the rating the better the fuel is at stopping engine knock due to predetionation and has nothing to do with fuel economy or engine efficiency.
