Subject: IML: Any tubing benders out there ?????Hello everyone,It feels like Monday all over again.I just wanted to offer a couple of things to all you IMPERIAL and Chrysler mechanics out there.and don't forget to oil the spark plug threads .....and turn them in " by hand" when replacing them.GASOLINE....................Lately with the GAS prices inching up ......I've stumbled upon something that may or may not be helpful...........I'm testing it to see what happens..........I use my '77 NYB with a 440 engine as a daily driver......... and where I live, in Oregon, the gas prices are a 30cent difference between regular and premium and normally I ONLY use premium, because I care about my BIGG cars......... but, a couple of months ago I found that if I fill up with "regular" gas...........20 gallons at $1.53 a gallon............versus "premium"..... 20 gallons at $1.83 a gallon.......... I save $6 dollars.......WOOHOO !!!But the BEST part is: I take 99 cents of my savings , and go buy a bottle of "SNAP" Super Octane Booster" to put in the tank with the 20 gallons of REGULAR gas, and guess what.................SMOOTH running 440.......... no pinging on hills.......... no rough idle............no spark knock..............nuttin'.............Tuned by ear to get 15+ miles per gallon............and I know that I have been getting slightly better gas mileage since I have been adding the octane booster.So far.......... after two months, no negative aspects whatsoever.Any comments you guys have, would be much appreciated.Michael Howlett
