Do I Really Need Premium Gas?

Why Your Vehicle Cares

Now, your vehicle is designed for “controlled” combustion — meaning the point of combustion is delayed so your engine isn’t significantly damaged — and putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle isn’t likely to make it explode. However, when combustion happens at the wrong time, as can happen with the wrong fuel, this can cause damage to your engine. So, if you put regular fuel in a vehicle that needs premium gasoline, the unintended combustions would cause major wear to your vehicle. Furthermore, using higher octane gasoline than what is recommended (for instance, filling up with premium gasoline when regular gasoline is just fine) serves no benefit. The combustion still happens, and you may pay more for nothing. But if your vehicle requires premium gasoline, the added costs at the pump are nothing compared to the bill you will receive for repairs after consistently using regular gasoline. You can find your vehicle’s preferred gasoline rating in the owner’s manual. If you’re unsure about a particular gas station’s naming system for gasoline, ask an attendant for help. Our Bockman’s Auto team is skilled enough to help you fix whatever damage your vehicle sustains, but we’d rather help you prevent it. For specific car care tips, schedule a regular inspection with our team today!

Early fantasy football leagues were complicated undertakings. In the days before the internet, members had to agree to reference the box scores in a particular newspaper’s sports pages and “draft” their teams in the same room on long phone calls, or even via snail mail. CBS Sports began offering online fantasy football leagues in 1997, and today it’s even easier to play. The sport is built right into the NFL website (Fantasy.NFL.com), and you can join a free league or start a league of your own with a click! Whether you’re a former player or a superfan who wants to play coach for a day, fantasy is a great way to stake a personal claim in the sport and connect with friends while you do it. Check out the article “How to Play Fantasy Football: A Beginner’s Guide” on NFL.com to learn the basics. It’s updated annually, so make sure you hunt down the 2021 version! When you start, don’t forget to salute Winkenbach, the official “Father of Fantasy Sports.”
