Fossil fuels again.

Quite so.

The wind deflector I can see. Premium gas never made
any kind of sense to me.

I can, to a point.

The sources I see indicate that unless you have an
older high-performance engine that you want to use in
a high-performance way, high octane is unnecessary.

Dunno about the sources, but empirically, we've found that for certain
cars that claim to require premium, there's some truth to the claim...
First my Shadow, and nore recently both Volvos, all with turbo-charged
engines, have actually done better with the premium... and when we tried
using regular gas, we got so much worse gas mileage that it was actually
more expensive to be putting regular in the tank... and less expensive
to use premium... Richard's Volvo could use the mid-grade, but we can't
get that at BJ's, where the Premium is usually less than or equivalent
in price to the major brands' regular... The cars ran very badly on
regular as well...

put 7 pounds in the freezer, had just short of another pound
held back in the fridge.

Yeah, that qualifies as a fair amount. You're making me
hungry.

Sorry. (G)

Funny thing. The other day, in between when you wrote
that and I wrote this, Bob made pulled pork. It was pretty
good except that he carefully removed as much fat as he
could. How can you have pulled pork without fat?

Rhetorical question, obviously... ;)
