i was wondering what people used for gas in their cars octane wise for a 5sfe, ive heard that it really doesnt matter especially with a stock 5s and i noticed a few posts of people saying they use 91 but i assume those were on swaps and cant seem to get to the bottom of this..
what the hell does it matter? lol and what SHOULD i use? thanks for any input to put my mind to rest =D |

Im not sure on the octane rating, im guessing its around 91. I only fill up with gas from 2 places. Shell and BP. Reason for this is the fact that around here, their premium gas does NOT have Ethanol. Ive noticed a difference of 2-3 mpg depending on the place i get gas from.
