My father, who owned my car before me, never put 93 into it, alwasy 87...for two years he did that. When I bought the car, I put 93 in (Because it said on the fuel door) when fuel was over $3.00 per gallon I switched to 87. Now I am back to 93 octane.
I don't see a difference..

SCs require premium, so I go premium, no matter what the price.
Scott, I just checked my fuel door this AM, never noticed it before

and also ive never put more than around 16 gallons in my tank and that was when it was beepin at me like crazy and it was pulsating, i think pontiac "over estimated" a little to get people to buy it

man i got really exited the otehr day when i looked at the trip and it read 156 miles and my gas needle hadn't droped below the 3/4 mark yet...but now at just under 1/2 and it reads 209
so its still about right but i thought i had something going really good, i hate how the needle isn't alwase exact, it kinda ranges within 1/8 of the actual level
and btw gas was 1.89 last i saw (by the school, the 7-11 by the house is 1.99)
