Are you serious about the Average in the USA??? the average is about 2.90 per gallon. I know for you 3s-gte guys premium is not looking good on wallets ouch!!! I myself use premium but since the average in the Bay area is like 3 dollars i choose to go back to regular 87

your 7afe was designed to run on 87, any "running better" symptoms you have by using 92 are pyschological..
using anything other than the cheapest **** you can find on a 5sfe or 7afe is just throwing money right out the window This post has been edited by brianforster: Apr 22, 2006 - 3:44 PM |

I believe (don't quote me on this) that any GT with a 5s in it says to use a slightly higher octane of fuel, but I'm not sure. |

i wanna know whether it's better to put 91 gas than 87 in my 5sfe? i've been doing it ever since i've owned the car... i only put good gas in my celi... but is the 5sfe tuned to run on 87? any difference running on 91?

Ive always done the cheapest, and then once every like 4-5 weeks we throw in the high stuff to help kinda clean the engine and mix with the old fuel. My 7A runs great on the cheap stuff though. We get about 400 miles to the full tank.

Like everywhere at the moment we here in New Zealand have seen dramatic petrol price rises gone from 80c per litre to $1.80ish for the good stuff which having a Japenese import mine tends to run best on. upto $90 for a fill up.

Like Outsider said, the price here is getting crazy. I just spent $50 yesturday filling my tank and that was with regular 87 octane, most I have ever paid to fill the tank on the car.
