    It seems to me that some gasolines give my car better mileage than others--
    its more of a gut feeling than measured experience, but I was wondering
    if others had noticed it, or knew it to be true.  Are the "better" brands
    of gas (e.g. Amoco) more chock-full-o-energy than the cheap ones (e.g. Buy-
    Rite)?

    On the subject (sort of), has anyone had any experience with water 
    injection?  I know it can reduce detonation (pinging), and is used in
    high compression or boosted engines, but will it help the average car?
    How serious is the increased rusting of the exhaust system?
