Time or money...you decide.

That is an excellent point. We lose fuel efficiency if we drive too fast. But it is so hard drive slow on the highway when everyone else is going by at 75MPH. But you are right about time or money. Sometimes, it is worth going a bit faster to get to where you need to go, I guess.

I have a work mate that lives a few blocks from me, and works for the same company. He drives so fast, he passes me twice on the way to work (we take different roads)

One word response here: CARPOOL!

as a matter of fact.. you will actually LOOSE horsepower by running higher than needed octane gas. although on most regular motors the decrease will be so small as to be not noticable

Welcome to the club. I had heard that high octane gas in unleaded fuel actually reduced power. It was explained to me that the octane rating in unleaded is not true octane but an equivalent octane. Apparently the unleaded gas slows the rate of combustion in the cylinder so it won't knock or ping.

Welcome to the club, and we will look forward to hearing more from you.
