Sorry but am still of the opinion that supercharging has a place: 20,000 
feet.. Yes, it lets a small engine have HP and good MPG but at a 10% extra 
cost for premium over regular.

I put up with 12 mpg of ethyl (which isn't any more) from my toy because it 
is driven less than 1,000 miles a year. But all of our street cars run on 
87 PON..

For a brief period I thought about a Solstice, then I bought the 66 'vert 
which fills parade duty nicely, now my next target is a Class A that gets 
20 mpg.
