That is also why Chargers are so hard to come by today, and when you do find them, they are outrageous in price. I saw one in the paper the other day for $5K, needs restoring.

I buy the ethanol blend so I only pay $1.199. Slick 50 teflon is not the way to go, try mobil one for synthetic oil, and then you only have to change the filter every 3K miles, and change the oil every 10K miles. And as far as you fuel goes, try STP. CA is weird, every body with pre-1991 cars are going to suffer. Maybe this is CA's way of trying to get rid of the smog problems, less cars on the Highways by getting rid of the ones that can't handle the new fuel. My husband was out there about 7 yrs. ago. He said it was horrible. He even go in a wreck out there. You might also want to contact your dealership and see what they recommend. They might be able to steer you in the right direction. They are probably having a lot of people asking them the same thing you are asking here. If they can't help, then right the CO., the address should be in your owner's manual in the back, should be near the area where you can order the service manual for your car. Hope I have been of some help to you.

Well, ME, I'm 100 road miles from the coast, but I had equipment and towers all along there, and of course my work cars spent a lot of time down that directioon. BUT, the wind blows from there to here almost all the time so we get pretty much the same corrosive atmosphere up here most of the time. ^..^ --- FidoPCB v1.5 beta-'j' * Origin: BOO!
