[V8] Gasoline

[Karl D. Middlebrooks]

While I can't say for sure that this was the sole factor, I do know that 
after a year of feeding the car regular gas to see what would happen 
(well...not just as an experiment, but I was quite cash-constrained for 
a while), I found V8 #1 being towed to the shop to have all the carbon 
gunk blown out of the engine, because the car wouldn't start (new plugs 
and whatnot, too). And this was only about a year and a half after 
having carbon gunk blown out of the engine, new plugs, and so on....So, 
there may be other factors, but after the price for the tow and the 
repair of the car, I decided that regular gas would never enter my V8's 
gas tank again.

I guess in about 6 more months, I'll know if there's something else 
going on that's gunking up the engine....
