As if gas prices weren't high enough...

Ann Althouse links to a story in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel about octane fraud: paying for high-test gas and getting stuck with regular. Apparently Wisconsin has a real problem with enforcement since they can't keep their test units online. Seems that this would be one of those enforcement activities that pays for itself, especially if the fraud is as widespread as it was in Indiana.

That's why I love Saturns - you're only SUPPOSED to use 87 octane!

Same's true of the Kia Sportage I'm driving, too, though I occasionally get the mid-grade, especially in Iowa. The Kia seems to like the ethanol mix better than the straight unleaded.
