id say its just common knowledge... keep rpms down and speeds decent and you'll save...

let the truck drive itself.. don't launch it at every straightaway you see lol

Gas will not get to 4 bucks a gallon anytime soon. the price will moderate later in the year. The thing with octane is if your engine does not knock or ping on the "cheap"( !) stuff go ahead and use it. Modern engines with knock detectors this sort of thing is a moot point anyway. remember with a naturally asperated engine your altitude makes a big different on your actual compression. I know one thing I am going to upgrade my spark plugs Those Brisk Halo plugs look real interesting, however I think the Bosche plus 4 might be as good and much easier to get, not to mention a little cheaper.

Im thinking the same, If I sell the truck, and get a car, Im going to take a hit the way it is.

Looks Like I might get new plugs and wires.

I'm keeping my truck. I've got other cars to drive if gas gets out of hand. If the price of gas really gets out of hand I'll just get another car for running around. Then if I need a truck then I have one.
