My tune is set for 93 as well. It's a pain, but I don't mind, it's for the Monte!!!

an extra .20 per gallon, every 5 gallons is only 1 more dollar. My usual fill up is only ~10 gallons, so it's just an extra 2 bucks. The OVERALL price of gas sucks. I don't mind the little extra for my tune.

I use high test 93 OCTANE in the Monte and i pay $4.02 compared to regular at $3.82 in Oregon but i don't drive the car a ton any more just on weekend and to car shows. I am saving allot of miles and gas because i work from home now.
