Re: What grade gas do you run?

87 personally.

Topic actual spurs another thought. I'd like to see somebody test the octanes at the gas stations on a regular basis to actually see if to verify the actual differences in the octanes of gas you buy out of the pumps.

I know I'll get flamed and haven't taken the time to collect samples but out on the road I've shot the s*(* with some tankers and whether they are pulling my leg or not I can't say but I've heard several say they've pulled in stations and used the same gas in all the tanks and you can bet they aren't putting the premium in the 87 tanks. With the other things oil, the states and gas stations are pulling now, milking all they can out of us, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Anyway, I've had a pretty good variety of cars, Vets to Rx-7's, trucks blah, blah blah and never run premium. Only time I've had a knock or sputter is when I've gotten bad gas and not octane I purchased.

To each his own but I'll never run the premium and mine will do just as good as any over the same period of time at about 15 to 20% of the cost.
