87 Octane, any brand!!

California has the strictest laws. All gasoline formulas HAVE to be identical.

The lowest price around here is $2.92.9

Mobil 93 with some CAM2 (made by Sunoco) 100 octane mixed in to get an end result of 95 octane...

I used to run Shell 93 only, until I found out that it's not really that good - I had all kinds of KR on it... couple tanks after switching to Mobil and my KR was gone and had a little more pep/pickup since the timing wasn't being retarded anymore...

I try to run Amoco ultimate or Citgo. Shell gas is too dirty. I have been leary of running anything less than what was recommended.
I am getting 24.5mpg, and prices jumped to $3.509 today for premium. OUCH!

OK, Gabe, seriously, did gas just go up a QUARTER per gallon in north central IA? Last night Silver (89 with octane) was 2.999 a gallon, and this evening it was 3.249!!!! I darn near slammed on the brakes when I saw that junk! I just got 91 octane for 2.989a gallon last night, and today, 89 is more expensive?!
