I am reading the manual for my new van. It says I can use 85% octane, which I think is reg unleaded, but to also use 87%, at times, which I think is premium. I have read this over and over. WHAT?? What the heck? Do I alternate tanks of gas? Stick with reg unleaded and once a month put in 87%. Is 87% the premium stuff. Is there a difference in the gas stations and quality of gas. Is this important? Am I just over thinking every thing and questioning stupid trivial things?<br><br>I apologize for so many questions, but picture this... I was married 30 years and have been single 13. I was managed and programed and did not have to think or know about stuff. Even after my divorce I was still managed for a while. So I am in a steep learning curve.<br><br>I never had to think of this stuff, I guess I never had to think for myself at all so now I am lost. <br>I don't want to be a pain in the aaaaa, but I will take all information and suggestions.<br><br>I do thank every one on this forum for all the help and advice and encouragement. This is so embarrassing. <br><br>kidie, luci, and the big white moose.....<br><br><br>
