Still going to crack the whip on too much perfume -- that's just a wrong thing, whether I'm in a migraine haze or no.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I've gotten this answer a few times too. But it doesn't really make sense to me. I mean, if it doesn't hurt the car, then it does what it's supposed to do. And what does "run much better" mean, better mileage?
The engine's computer can figure out that it has lower octane gasoline and retard the timing to compensate. Doing so generally means less power and fuel economy. The higher octane gas allows the engine to run more efficiently and meet it's power and mileage ratings. Now if your engine is designed to run on lower octane gas, then using a higher octane will not produce better results. Generally speaking higher compression or turbo/supercharged are the ones that can benefit from higher octane gas.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

God bless the buddy action genre.
If I recall correctly, Starsky and Hutch was darned near the beginning of the buddy genre. I remember an article back then talking about how innovative it was to show partners as devoted friends.

If, however, I had a student that tried to use the text to prove that Shakespeare was a Scientologist, I would try to talk them out of interpreting the text that way.
As if the space clam scene in TITUS ANDRONICUS wasn't proof of this already...

I'm guessing my 4V Honda Civic does not need the higher octane, even if it is 10 years old.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the same engine that's in my 11 year old Honda Civic, so, no need for higher octane.

Well, Newman and Redford really got it going with BUTCH CASSIDY and THE STING if you want to get technical. S&H just moved it to present day (and TV).

It makes watching reruns of the original Dragnet lots of fun. "Come on, Sgt. Friday, just hug him already!"
