what kinda gas do u all use?

does anyone prefer a specific kind of gas? octane?

i like to use premium gas, i think my car runs a lil smoother. anyone else? just wonderin?

i wanna get some 106 racing gas and just see what my car will do, but at 6+dollars a gallon its a lil too expensive, if these gas prices keep goin up, i might just try it

i pump reg 87 or go fancy and pump 89 but the 89 is rarely, premium does get you like 1mpg better, but it isnt worth it and could damage your engine over time

turbo = premium gas, the higher the better, but sometimes they use leaded gas to get the real high race octane's and blow o2 sensors

87 over here. Cheap and works just right for the car. Anything higher just leaves the possibility of the fuel not combusting.

I was running 89... Prices started to rise and I went to the 87. Funny thing is, that is what it says to run in the manual. Anyway, I always got the middle grade anywhere I went... could be 89, or 92 depending on where you are at... But yeah, fuck it... too much cost, and the Mistress seems to run a bit peppier. Old habits die hard. NOOB= My SHELL ass.

I put 91 V-power in my car only because when i put 87 or 89 the engine tends to get sluggish and starts to knock. Its fuckin expensive tho.
