Professional mechanics and radio stars, "Click & Clack" say it is 'ok' to use Regular instead of "Premium Gas Only"

Good news,,,!!!
The famous radio personalities and mechanics "Click and Clack" last month, April 2007, say it is 'OK' for most cars other than Ferraris, Maseratis,etc. super high tech,,,to use Regular Gas, with the manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Acura, Lexus, Infinity, and the second rate American mfgs, instead of the dash label of "Premium Gas Only" !! Thank you Tappet Brothers !!!!!

Now in the May -June issue, AAA says according to Jim Fennig a crew chief for NASCAR and AAA President Paula F. Downey, that if your car dash label says "Use Regular Gas" ,you don't have to use Premium Gas at $.20-.60 cents more. Gee, thanks for that big tip, AAA. Yikes, do they think we are all sheep for slaughter ?!

AIG,,,huge insurance-investment company but LOUSY service!!

I have had an IRA at AIG- Valic for years,,,and am amazed that they do not have a mailed out or online printable contribution form. Also , they do not tell you if you have over-contributed for the year ,,,and thus face IRS $$ penalties. Ouch. But they also do not bother in the least to tell you what you can contribute and if you have contributed enough for that tax year. Excuse me, but THAT is Lousy service!! Maybe they think all of us IRA and TSA investors are captive past, and thus ,,,captive present and future contribution investors only to AIG ! There must be many investment companies that appreciate and take better care of their 'showing the money' customers !!
