Message	:your average gas station will supply a few different grades of fuel. In CO, it is 85, 87, and 91. Those are the only grades in CO I would consider pump gas. I wouldn't put that crap in my lawnmower. Ok, maybe I would, but 92's so cheap over here. I can get it for $1.50. On a related note, I can get 93 octane at Mobil, but my car always detonates and lacks power when I use 93 Mobil gas. Yet it won't detonate with 92 Getty.
Follow Ups	Could these power numbers be legit?
