Part of it too though is the Pacifica is a low compression normal naturally aspirated engine, the S560 is a high compression twin turbo engine, way more important to use excellent fluids and fuels in that IMO

I get top tier gas when convenient, but honestly if you're not keeping the car past 8 years/100k mi who cares? I doubt there's a noticeable difference in performance before that point for the average person.

I throw 88 octane from sheetz in the Jeep.....E15 blend and all that even though the manual says not to, the pump says not to, etc etc
Runs fine. I seriously doubt the car will ever know/care since it uses a brick of an engine.

Hey, if they bring out some modern wagons I will give them a look. 
Is anyone still making them?
I can't remember what the Kia Carnival is.
SUV?
I'll have to look that one up.
That jeep will probably run on Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. haha
I've never used E15 but guessing it smells like corn pops.

My neighbor has one, they absolutely love it. I've seen two others of different colors in front of their house recently, so I think their extended family were impressed enough to buy them also.

If I was travelling in either car and was at a Buc-ee's and needed gas I'd do a one time fill up. I wouldn't frequent one if there happened to be one near me though.
