    NEVER let a battery go below 12,4 volts because it start sulfate. Battery prematurely fails due to a build-up of sulfate on the plates. This sulfate build-up causes the battery to lose performance and eventually will become so bad that the plate(s) will short out. The build-up also interferes with the charging and discharging of the battery. So it's a good thing to charge with a AUTOMATIC low amp charger. DO NOT charge permanently, it will boiled. Remember 12,4 volts.

    Higher octane does NOT improve horsepower. To increase the horsepower of an engine you need to increase its compression ratio or supercharge air-fuel in the cylinder. The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. When gas ignites by compression rather than because of the spark from the spark plug, it causes knocking in the engine. So your engine is build with a compresion so high the 87 octane will auto ignite, 93 octane will support this compression. The power of gasoline is measure in btu,(british thermal unit),all fuel at the pump have the same BTU, only the octane change. Racing fuel are oxygenated fuel that will produce a bit more horsepower because they have a better vaporisation, and they have also higher octane rating to accept higher compression engine, you buy those fuel usualy in barrel of 5 15 or 45 gallons. Very expensive.

    About Nitrogen....when a tire shop fill tire with nitrogen they use a machine that separate oxygen and nitrogen and then fill your tire whit it, BUT, It will be only 90 to 95% pure nitrogen, compare to the 78% in the air....so I wont pay for this... The only way to have pure nitrogen is to take it directly from a compressed bottle of 99.9% nitrogen, and before filling your tire you have to vacuum it, then fill with pure 99.9% nitrogen, then do the whole process again 3 times.....that's the way....do you think they are doing this at your tire shop???

    Get the fault code first, my car had the air bag light and it was the driver safety buckle. I just clean the switch with contact cleaner inside the buckle, clear the code, gone , no problem since 6 month.
