[V8] Regular gas and the V8

[Matthew Yip]

I usually fill up at half-tank (that way I fool myself into thinking
that I'm not spending as much $$).  In any case, I usually fill up
once with regular and once with premium to come to about 89 octane. 
I don't notice much of a difference and since regular is currently
$.20/gal less AND even Costco gasoline is $2.49/gal, I'll take the
cheap stuff.
