Default Gas question

This is a pretty noob question but just wondering what kind of gas you guys put in? I have an 02 v6 3.8.

Regular grade is fine unless you've got a modified motor, or a factory Mach/Cobra/Shelby

Yep, unless you're tuned your car will run worse with the higher octane fuels.

Just put the regular stuff in it and be thankful you're saving $0.20 a gallon over me (I have a supercharger, so I have to use higher octane fuel).
