•For most gas-powered automobiles, there's no need to use premium gasoline – unless the automaker's user guide requires it.

DEAR HARRIETTE: My child has duped me, and it doesn't feel good. She has always been an excellent student – up until this semester. One class in particular has been tough for her, and her grades reflect her struggle. I have asked her about it repeatedly, including trying to find out if we should get a tutor to help her do better. She has shrugged off all of my suggestions, but the grade has stayed the same. She says she hates her teacher.
DEAR HARRIETTE: The mother of the kids I babysit is consistently coming home late. She is a single mother with two children.

I didn't think much of it when she came home late the first few times, but she's been doing it every night for a few months now. This is the only issue I've had with this family, but it's a significant one. What should I do? –Come Home
