Terp, welcome to Acurazine.

If you didn't figure it out, what the guys are saying is, be sure to use the Acurazine Search Engine for questions such as this. We've got some threads on this which will be helpful.

Cheers!



And no, a couple times with regular gas won't hurt. Congrats on your new ride!

I always use regular gas but I add a spoonful of peanut butter every other tankful so I'm fine. Car runs smooth as butter (peanut)!








Ok, seriously, use 91. We only have 93 at most stations in South Florida so that's what i use.

OP is it safe to say that you are 18 or younger? If not, you're acting like you are.
