Admittedly there's a lot of ranting to sift through, but I was responding to the above. Sure, you'll take a hit on timing maybe 4-8 degrees at times with regular gas, but for this guy if he wants to run regular he can. Given all the issues he's already got I doubt he'll notice much impact. As for the key, well he's apparently been driving some older cars. When I boughgt my 2000 brand new, it was a pretty big investment and I was glad it had an rfid in the key and a decent immobilizer. 13 years later I still have the same two keys and remotes. Replaced the batteries once and one remote got a new case. Even the cheapest car sold today (Nissan Versa 1.6 S) has rfid keys, and ABS, stability control, etc. Just the way it is. He need to recalibrate his expectations.
