Serious question:
Why do you use 93 octane in a base cobalt?

it's what I happened to have in the car at the time... i was experimenting to see what got the best mileage in it when the car was new. The old 98 Cavalier I had refused to run on pisswater 87.

This is right on the Vermont border. Maybe an hour and twenty minutes from the Canadian border. I've never even heard of Harrisville or Mexico NY...

i know people at a local construction / asphalt company that have large scales for weighing dump trucks. i dont know how accurate they are but you could try that if they will let you.

If there is a garbage dump in our town/city go there they have scales and the works would probably laugh, tell you the weight and you'd be on your way.
