I run the cheapest stuff I can find, 87 because I'm a cheap bastard. My Z runs fine because I haven't up'ed the compression.

I use 89 on autocross days.

hmm, gas is gas is gas, is not really true. but some of the major gas brands do share gas, but like the posters said there are additives.
i try to stay with 76 since they offer race gas i figure their gas is probably good. but i live in cali so 91 is the best i get.

if you live near boating areas, the river etc. you can get very high octane from the pump, I purchased 110 from the pump a while back, the best part, we only purchased 3~ gallons, but becouse of some error and the pump was old, it kept the fuel flowing, full tank 110 octane 8~ bucks, priceless

Nothing but 87 Arco on my 240 and it runs just fine. I've used other types of gas but haven't noticed any differences. So I use what's cheapest. NOt like my car is boosted or high comp right now or anything. No detonation at all and I get 23-25 mpg.

i'm convinced

http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=1

I never really believed that the additives and detergents in higher priced gas were worth the "hype", but this article in Car&Driver changed my mind.

If you think about why auto manufacturers would create this TopTier designation it starts to make sense. It's not some shady deal with the big oil companies to promote their gas, it's to reduce expensive warranty claims on engines and fuel systems that get messed up by lower quality gas.

In the end all gas basically burns the same (because its pretty much all going through the same pipelines to get here) and will produce the same power, unless you just get a bad tank that is contaminated by moisture or something.

But from now on I'm going to put a couple extra bucks in my tank so my expensive injectors don't get clogged with deposits.

When I'm feeling the need I'll put some 108 octane from the local 76 station off Sepulveda and Manchester near LAX airport. I don't drive too much so the 8.75 a gallon doesn't hurt so bad.

you may not drive much but that high octane stuff will evaporate very quickly if not used.....

I'm good for atleast 91 octane from Hess.

FL prices suck: 93 oct. $2.41 today....87 oct. $2.29. Where's the 1.89 like I saw in GA last week?

Chevron gasoline is used by several foreign and domestic manufacturers to pass EPA emmissions test and to set the mpg benchmarks.
