93 because I have to.

You will hear people say they feel better performance or they see better gas mileage, its really negligable.

I run 92 because I have to. I've experimented with toluene mixed in with my gas but didn't notice a difference.

I swear I get better mpg if I use 91 rather than 87... I drive the same way (agressive) but with 87 after about 5 tanks fill ups everyone it average 20-21 give or take a few tenths consistently with 91 I averaged 23-24... huge difference? naw but if I feel better paying 20 cents more a gallon Ill take it.

Higher octain will not doing anything unless your engine needs it or is tuned for it. I use basic 87 because thats all i need.

I have heard that using higher octain will help reduce valve knock with older/high milage cars. but still is point less.

I always use premium. Depending on altitude, it's either 91 or 92 for me. In Colorado it's 91 and Cali is 92. Our regular out here is 85.

It's like 2.21 here. I hate it.. because I have no money.. putting $5 in gets like what.. 2 gallons? That's nothing for me. My school is 30 miles away.
