Cool.

1. WIll check computer; I assume it's under the passenger side dash (sorry, I dont have a manual yet - links are good too =).

2. Good sh*t; I will check out 'octane' online...thx.

3. Synth; of course. FYI: the car has 183,000km/120,000mi on it...so 'late in the game' would be an apt descriptor.
