Regular gas in CLS....
The idiot at the gas station put regular in instead of super. So has anyone else run regular? Do ya think I should add some boost?

Don't sweat it too much. You won't get the same peppy acceleration your use to (if you try, you might here some knocking cause by pre-ignition). I'd just let it run out. Don't know what adding boost might do. Some engines can't handle it.

Well that's good to hear..... I was thinking of trying the middle grade gas anyway, but not regular... I'll see how it goes.
BTW super is $179 to $183 around here now

The ECU compensates for lower octane by retarding the timing.
You'll just lose some of the "pep" as others have said, no biggie.

Another perspective on gas prices: after filling up a rental car while in Germany earlier this year, I don't think I'll ever again complain about prices here (it was about triple our cost). I guess comparatively "low" gas price is a small consolation for not having the Autobahn though...

i really do feel for all of you. these gas prices are outrageous. i can get:
87 for $1.50
91 for $1.60
93 for $1.70
these prices are from 5-2-01. i hope that these prices (world-wide)will start falling(for everyone's sake), because it really does start becoming expensive to give a mustang an old fashioned "ass-whippin'"

I'm putting in a k&n dropin today, people here said they get about another 4mpg.
How about buying regular and adding in some octain boost?
Jens, any long term ill effects of using a mid grade 89 gas? Will the computer compensate enough to prevent ALL knocking/pinging? (performance aside of course)
That's the only worry about using regular. The computer will retard the timing, but is it variable enough to reduce all the knocking? That's were you get into engine damage territory.
