1.4 bar low boost and recent owner impressions

[auditude at cox.net]

Hi Mihnea,

All I have normally available is crappy 91 octane.  Well, not crappy fuel necessarily, but 91 octane.  I normally get it from Safeway, which is a grocery store with gas pumps and a 3-6 cent discount.  

While I'm on the subject, I pay with a AAA Visa which offers a 5% discount on all fuel purchased at the pump.  No affiliation.

Thanks,

Ken
