RE: gas
I run 87 right now and seem to do fine. My car is basically stock. So maybe thats why it works out.

RE: gas

RE: gas
I try to run 93 when it isn't too damn expensive, but if need be I'll run 87, but believe it or not, my car gets nearly 3 mpg better with 93 over 87, I nearly passed out, but when I've done several long trips in the past three weeks and when I used 87 I got around 20-21 mpg doing mostly hwy, then I put in 93 and get 24-25 mpg, it's absolutly rediculous the difference that it makes.
