No reason to put midgrade, your car is made for 87.

I always put 93 in, I went to one gas station yesterday, and it was $3.39.9999 per gallon!! Went down the street, and it was 3.29. I hate the gas/oil market.

It takes $35 to fill up my tank, which only last for about four days, since I have a long commute to work, then I have to fill her back up for the weekend. If I were to add up the amount of money I use in a month it'll be around $240, which is like a car payment. :shakehead
Sometimes, I feel like selling my CL and getting a 99-00' civic si (1.6liter)....OK, not really but you get the point.

serioiusly. If there's one thing we should be thankful for its that our cars run best on teh cheap gas

Unless you're running nitrous or other FI, 87 unleaded is the way to go

Its about $2.89/gal here, for once living in the middle of nowhere paid off. You can also help you car and gas milage by sticking to the same brand of gasoline for every fill up.
