Re: premium or regular unleaded

Its also on the inside of the gas cap door. Most say 91 octane for Zs, Ive never had a chevy that said 93, hell you cant get 93 in a lot of places. Also there was a news story last night 13 million cars in the US are suppossed to use Premium. 22 million folks are using it. I wish I knew who the 9 million wasting my gas are.

I always run 91 or more. 87 wont kill your car but 91 or better will help u with mpg.

Basically a 20 cent difference between regular and premium. 15 gallons multipled by 20 cents is $3. Is it worth "saving" $3 to have your car run properly... not to mention you'll get better fuel economy by using premium.

I lived in California for 9 years, then moved to Ohio but it's cool I get 94 octane here for the price you would pay for 87 there
