Might be that it's too warm for that octane level in your car

IIRC, in the US the crash standards are federally mandated - but it's up to each state to decide what else makes a car legal or illegal.

Even in Canada standards are different from one province to another;
what is legal in Alberta isn't necessarily legal in Ontario...
Obviously there are provincial and municipal laws that vary between areas, what I was saying is the fact that since a car is federally approved to be fit to drive in the USA, how can a state overrule that or even how can that car be sold in Maryland if it's unfit for use there.

It's like selling a case of beer to me than getting arrested outside for it because the cop think's I don't look of age.

Also, higher octane is more resistant to detonation. It's the jist of why higher performance vehicles use it.

alright i went to auto value, like steve said to, and it was a P0013- Camshaft exhaust position sensor.

the guy cleared it and said that sometimes car have a little glitch once in a while and throw a code for no reason, he also told me that if it comes back up within a year, then something is wrong.

well it came back 5 mins later. FML

its your exhaust phase actuator thats done and you will need to replace it. you still under warranty? also i can gaurantee you that your intake phase actuator will go out here shortly as well. thats the 2 sensors i had replaced within a month of each other.

umm, how??

do you have $10 internet because you're paying $200 total for stuff?? (package deal??)

I was about to sign up for internet again (I recently cut cable tv);
the best price I saw was through Telus;
their "high speed light"
@ $25/month - 1mb download speed cap, and a monthly cap on downloads.
