Default Who Runs Hightest?

Even though my 87 LS is mostly stock..305 4bbl quad/headers..straight thru duals i still run 93 octane, valves seem to clatter going uphill when i ran 87...But wow 4.35 gallon up in my neck of the woods...Who else runs 93...Im gonna have to put 250.00 away for gas to go to the nationals...

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.
