I want your spoiler on my 15 DIB GT!

I wanna save some extra money because I am approaching 30, and just feel like I am not doing enough for my future. Love my car, really do. Not a mistake, it's my single most prized possession. But I make all my own food, I build my own computers, make and grind my own coffee, hell, I even grind...

Just to clarify, its not that I want to make the switch because I can't afford to keep doing as I have been. My situation has changed, and I just want to limit the amount of extra money I am spending in anyway I can. I had lived in the same place for about 8 years, and I did not foresee moving...

Can I avoid any knocking by just not driving it very hard for a half a tank or so?

Man, even 87 is 2.40ish right now here. And that's super cheap. I am going to start using 87!

87 and 93 had a 65 cent difference when I checked last near me. That's over 10 dollars a tank, and that adds up! If it was such a small difference, I wouldn't care lol.

Hey! You're still here! And I need to budget myself a bit more if I am driving twice as far to work every day, and the easiest way to do that is to drop some of the fuel cost. But, considering it will be more highway driving and less city driving, maybe the jump wont be so bad. I only get 18.1...

There's no 91 anywhere near me! I would have been using that for my audi for years haha. And I could drop to 89. But even more savings dropping to 87. I'll see about how much of a difference I feel. Car is so fast already, that I pull away from anything I want to at a stoplight, easily lol.

Are you manually shifting the car, or using sport mode's auto gear changing? In sport mode, the car will stay in a lower gear for much longer than normal, because if you're going around a track, it makes it faster to accelerate when you need to. But if paddle switching, probably an issue.

I honestly have no idea. But I think the octane rating mainly just tells you about it's chances to cause knock. But in modern cars with knock sensors, I doubt it's a problem. Even more so because the car is designed for 87. My last car was an audi A4, and it said to never use below 91 octane. So...

I figured as much, I just was unsure. I'll be saving about 40-50 dollars a month now by switching, and that seems like enough of a savings for me now. Before hand it was about 15-20.

Well, I know the car can be run on 87, 89, and 93. And you get different horse power figures, I am just wondering if the sudden switch will mess anything up, like if it has to re-calibrate or anything.

I bought my 15 gt in june of last year, and since then I have been using 93 octane in it 100% of the time. My last car required this, so the extra cost was not much, and I don't drive very many miles. The car still has not reached 6000 miles, and that includes a trip from NYC to boston and back...

There is a law that all drivers must report an accident with over 1001 dollars property damage to the dmv. But it seems like a waste of time. My step father is an ex cop, and he said its useless to even call the police after the fact. Im just going to deal with the repairs and learn from it. No...

That sounds horrible. Thankfully, my car is completely okay to drive, so I can just drive it until the parts arrive. Still sounds like a terrible time lol.

Holy shit. Why would it take three and a half weeks? Lots of body damage? Thankfully my damage is fairly minimal. I figure, fixing the slight body damage shouldn't take long, and then it's just replacing everything inside the bumper, and the bumper cover.

Damn, even worse luck than I had! How much was the total repairs? Also, from now on, first thing I am doing is calling the police whenever I have even a minor bump. Now I am out a fairly sizable chunk of money, and this guy gets off scot free? Forget that noise.

So, I got an estimate from a local repair shop, and there is body damage under the car, as well as the whole bumper needing to be replaced, he estimated 1500 up to 2000 depending on what damage is there that can't be seen with everything on the outside. I think I can get the bumper cover already...

Four guys at 3 am. I asked a few times for his insurance, did not get the best looks. So I decided not to push it.

I think what I am going to do is bring it to my own body shop, see how much it will cost, and then see if they're willing to pay it, if not, I will see where to go from there, it really shouldn't cost much to repair.
