doesn't level it much when you feed your gas-burner premium. diesel is
usually 10¢ more than premium, and until I regear the Dakota, the 87
octane program doesn't give me satisfactory performance at all.
I also still subscribe to the philosophy that premium is the cheapest
it's ever been: it's still 20¢ more than unleaded at most stations --
the same price differential it's been since fuel was a dollar per
gallon.

I probably won't do greasel in the Jetta. I was planning to put a
heater in one of the Ford's two tanks, but I don't want to have to
worry about fuel heating and cold starts without having another tank
that I can fill with normal treated winter blend.
