Premium

And what she said about the gas in the US being 91 is not true. The 91 octane rating is for the mountain states like Colorado. On the east coast and the rest of the flat areas of the country the rating is 93 for premium.

I don't think tuners represent a perfect cross section of the population.Tuners are mostly the more affluent in the country so the overwhelming majority will be using premium.

it have nothing with being affluent, i definitely fdont fall in that category.
It's a matter of the most performance i can get out of it, while protecting it's longevity.

Everybody gonna come on here and say they not affluent and they don't fall into that category.....what I mean is you are prolly at your job right now and still posting on tuner...in fact I would bet 50% of the posts on tuner are from people who are working class and have access to a pc on a daily basis.
I am just saying the majority of tuners own or have access to a pc in the first place...which says something for your status....compare that to the majority of trinidad who dont own or don't have access to or cant afford a pc....i still say we the trinituner population are more fortunate than the majority of trinis and trinituner is not a good sample on which to base stats.
If indeed it were according to trinituner, COP would have won the last election.

Ok. As at the last poster UML these are the stats so far:

Premium: 130
Super: 32
Diesel: 54

This translates into the following stats:

Premium: 60%
Super: 15%
Diesel: 24%

While I appreciate these are not perfectly accurate, even given a 10% deviation plus or minus, thats still a LONG way off from the figures they've postulated.

And i DO think Tuner is a decent cross section. Sure there are people here who are affluent, but a lot of people here are the backbone of T&T. Plain ole fashioned middle income earners (myself proudly included). The middle class is always the backbone of any society. The highest and lowest earners tend to be in a small percentile. Not marginalised in any way, just less than the rest.

Lets see what happens by the end of the day. I have a funny feeling we're not going to see much deviation.

I dont know if anyone remember a few years ago when they were asking everyone to move away from Super and move up to Premium and CNG? Anyone remember that push? A lot of people who had cause to change their engines for whatever reasons (accident/broken parts/etc) ended up taking an engine that used Premium along the way.

But like i said.. lets see.

I understand what you're trying to say, but i cant agree. While i WILL agree that a lot of Trinbagonians dont have access to a car, almost all of them have access to PC's. Either at work or through Cafe's so thats no longer a marker for affluence. Access to PC's has gotten so easy its no longer a point. My gf doesn't have a car, but through me and work she has access to the internet on a daily basis.

And yes. Tuners are fortunate, but i dont think we're MORE fortunate. A lot of Tuners work more than one job. Either publicly or privately. That doesn't make them affluent. It just makes them hard workers. Thats all.

And while it would have been nice if we'd helped COP win, there aren't enough of us to do that. But there ARE enough of us to get a decent picture from north to south of gas usage.

As we talking about premium gas, I am definitely more flatulent than affluent.

..the sale of premium gasoline has been the fastest growing segment in the last six months. It has been growing by about 20% per quarter.

Can u post the link for that article? I'd like to read it. And you should take a look at this one. I wonder if this is where she got her figures?

http://www.latinpetroleum.com/new/newsd ... F&aid=3741

And did anyone bother to tell her that cars that use Premium use less gas than cars running Super? Hence the higher sales of Super against Premium?
