what gas you ppl use?

You want to get gas at the same place every time. I am in Oklahoma and almost every gas station has 91 octane. There is one gas station that sells 93 octane for about 12 cents more a gallon. So, I get 93 octane. DO NOT USE REGULAR GAS OR ANY GAS BELOW 91 OCTANE.
 
Using Shell or Mobil Supreme... I'm getting around 150-160 miles at 1/2 tank... Are yall getting about the same???
 
I either use BP or Shell which is 93 octane. I won't go down to 91 since I'm running with higher boost. Even the sticker on our gas door says "Premium fuel only."
 
Guy here in Texas is completely stock but has run 89 since he bought his MSP. He's also had his engine replaced after blowing it.

Make your own decision there but I *only* run 93+.

I use Chevron 93, or BP 93. Its about 2.20 a gallon here in Ky, and we supposedly have some of the lowest gas prices around.
It went frmo about 2.09 to 2.20+ in one day. :mad:
 
I take it 93 is the standard premium at sea level? A mile up, our premium is 91.

around here it depends on the gas station. In my town at Mobil premium is 91 and it's 2.299 a gallon, but 20 or so minutes away you can get 93 or 91 at Mobil and 93 is like 2.10. I'm actually not sure if you can get 93 anywhere in my town, I should drive through and check one of these days. Boy would it suck if a car specified 93 and didn't run right with 91.
 
$2.46 for 91 octane in Hilo.

Quick question: Why is it that we shouldn't use additives (like that 104+ octane boost stuff)?

i usually go with the middle grade gas, then every few tanks do the premium grade. considering i'm not boosting higher than stock and i don't go to the track, i think i'm alright for now. if i boost anything higher, the i'll go premium for good.

I've been using 93.

Funny story, I was at getting my oil changed and the clunk fixed at the mazda dealer yesterday and when i was leaving one of the guys in the office said save some money, use regular gas. I was like um....the owners manual and gas tank door says premium only, and hes like no it doesn't matter just use regular, i was like ok sure buddy.

Why? The owners manual says use premium, and that's at stock boost.

To answer the question, the lowest octane that's ever been in my tank is 93.

her in southern nj i got premium only but recently it went from like 1.76 to 1.89 to 2.12 in the past 3 days which sucks but the car needs what it needs to perform so it has to be bought
