I'd LOVE to let doubters drive my little Spirit after sub-quality gas has been used for a thousand miles or so. A few whip-snapped vertebrae and a crack or two of the front teeth on the steering wheel would get their attention. Let them pour in a container of TECHRON keep driving for a hundred miles and the @#$/\*! engine becomes a little angel again.
Engines are different and a person would be foolish to judge everone else's by their own personalcar and experiences with it. I HATE having to use more expensive PREMIUM gas down here to avoid engine PMS but better that than a neck brace and split lip. The entire ignition system was renewed with OEM quality components and it was a waste of money.
