Oh, come on now. Nobody is looking to find fault with anybody else. None of us need to reach for our attorneys and insurance adjusters. Have you never heard of the fine old American tradition of hot-rodding? Putting better quality fuel into your car is analogous to putting better quality software into your computer. Your warranty is void, you're responsible for fixing the problems yourself, but there's nothing wrong with asking your friends for their advice and experiences. If your friends tell you, "Take it to the dealer service department", well, maybe you asked the wrong friends. Some people will buy the fastest regular-production car on the market, and some will hot-rod a twenty-year-old Ford. There's room for diversity.
