Yeah...I used to run strictly Premium, but when the price of premium hit over 3 dollars ($3.40 in most cases), I started using regular. I actually have had no problem running 87 in it. She runs fine, but I can tell the difference when I use premium. I'll run a tank or premium every once in a while to clean it out.

I use only 93. I did not want to mess anything up by using a lower octane gas in my 04 SS.

I only use 87 which is what it calls for, however I do use Top Tier gas. Which is what GM recommends for all '06 and up Montes. Shell sells it as do a few other places.

4 major manufacturers got together to formulate this new gas....BMW, GM, Honda, & Toyota. If you do a search on the internet you can read all about it. It keeps your engine clean so you don't have to use fuel injector cleaners etc. Very good info.

I avg. about 25 in mine with 1/2 & 1/2 interstate @ 75mph and city below 45mph. It's still really new so it'll be awhile before she is broken in real well.

I actually use Shell 93 octane (one of the brands on the Top Tier list), but since it wasn't in the poll list, I voted for 94.

There's only a few places. Search the internet for the list. I know for sure Shell is on it and that's the only place I ever get my gas.
