my sister is a cheap ass and has always been a cheap ass. she put nothing but 87 octane in her 97 intrepid and the check engine light never turned off.

she has always put 87 in her 2000 taurus and the check engine light has never turned off.

i have always used premium in my 98 neon and have never had a check engine light lit.

maybe its coincidence, maybe not... i do know that after 150k miles she couldnt drive the intrepid anymore because every engine sensor had gone bad and they all had to be replaced-- only premium since and no check engine lights.

shes got 120k on the taurus, so soon enough ill know if there are the same issues[:)]
