Question/Advice Does the octane of fuel really matter?
I have noticed 93 octane stickers in several recent model vehicles. Just how critical is 93 v 87?

Hi everyone,
We took delivery of our brand-new car yesterday, and unfortunately, we noticed a dent and chipped paint. We were honestly shocked and upset because we expected the car to be in perfect condition at delivery. At that moment, we didn’t know how to react. The showroom assured us that they would fix the damage, and they have already sent an email confirming this. We visited the showroom again today to discuss the issue and possible compensation. Apart from getting the damage repaired properly at their expense, we asked them to offer some compensation for the inconvenience and disappointment. The options we are considering are:
Full manufacturer’s extended warranty + cash compensation.
Full-body PPF.
Accessories or some other combination of benefits.
The showroom has offered PPF so far, but we haven’t finalized anything. I understand that the dent and paint chip can be repaired, but it is disappointing to receive a damaged car on day one, especially when you pay for a brand-new vehicle.
Could you guys please suggest which one would be better

I recently got into an accident in my 2020 VW Tiguan se. It has almost 159,000 miles on it. Does it seem repairable or totaled? This is stressing me out.

The coolant gushed out. It’s a pink / red color coolant. The car was cold, hadn’t been started for over two days. Dipstick for the engine oil was normal, transparent and amber brown color as usual. Is this minor or major?

some helpful folks say this is a heat shield, but I know this old girl already lost one a few years ago. ( It is rattling some in city driving, and I’m 259 highway miles from home visiting someone in the hospital til tomorrow. ) 2007 Honda Odyssey. The pavement stain is hospital driveway, not where we were parked.
