You're right. HIGHER volatility. My most greivous error. There I was,
having a serious brain fa*t. Sorry, folks, for the bad info. It might also
be important to note that the advice I gave is for doing the emissions test
only. You want to run the right stuff for normal (and especially spirited)
driving. John

it's lower volatility."
