If you haven't done anything yet for your drivers seat, I had the same thing happen to mine! Turned out to be part of the seat frame was busted - I believe a stop on the lower frame that keeps the upper frame from making you look like a "cruiser" when you drive down the road. The local upholstery shop had it fixed in one day!

Bumping this thread back up instead of creating a new thread,
So this new gas station was built a year or 2 ago which is the cheapest to get gas in town. I went today and this has happened before, but when you select the fuel grade after you remove the nozzle to quick for some reason it will automatically select unleaded premium on ya. Now yes I could go inside and have them reset the pump, but its not like this happens all the time.
So basically my question is what will premium do to a 16-17 year old 351w. Nothing? Give it a little more kick but less mileage?

I have thought about dropping some premium in but it is just too expensive. I have also thought about how I would increase the octane of regular gas to make it equal premium or more. I know they have bottles of booster but I was thinking around home remedies.

When I got it it was at 3.52 or something like that where regular was 3.37, last time this happened to me premium was at 4.02

Last time I fueled up it was about $3.21/g. Not bad but I would like it lower. That was also for regular.
Also, isn't AV gas jet fuel? That would create quite a ruckus in my motor haha.

I would love it to stay at 3.21 usually I've been so used to paying no less than 3.50. So I've done about 37miles with the premium and I'm almost at empty lol. I put 20$ in and got 5.5 gallons. So premium in my truck = very bad gas mileage lol

Good thing my drive out to the WAFTE meet didn't eat up nearly as much gas as I thought it would. I still got 3/4 of a tank left to survive till i need more gas. Which won't be for a while.
