Because of the SC, I have to use premium. Each station seems to have a different "premium". Some Marathon'*, Shell and BP (Amoco) use 93. Other Marathons (Speedway), Citgo and Sunoco use 92. Of course for an extra dime per gallon, you can get the 94 at Sunoco. I don't know of any stations that use 91.

I have not noticed any difference between 92 and 93 yet, but usually try to get 93 when I can.

Most of us are smart enough to read the fuel requirements stenciled on the fuel gauge.

I hope so.

Typically 91 on mine since the computer learns what octane you use and will increase the timing on the car accordingly.

Gas in Michigan is currently around $1.759 per gallon for premium. This stinks!!!

Actually I go out at night to get my gas so I never know what the person put in the tank. I usually shop at ricer cars they don’t need the gas they need a clue. ( for those with a misunderstanding of my warped humor please remember I am joking)
