I wonder what is the diff?  Does the high test blend include more
additives which can help clean the injectors?

I keep on being amazed at the current high cost of auto repairs (and
parts).  My wife's car recently needed water pump replacement, and that
somehow ended up over $500 at the local Firestone.

I'd think new front pads could be done for under $100, but the way
things are going, looks like a good idea to save up and "brace
yourself."
