high octane?
What kind of gas should I put in my max? I usually just put the cheap stuff, because it's cheap. Would I get better gas mileage with better stuff??

Octane doesn't matter unless there's something wrong.
I use 89 or 91 and have since I got my car.

My Neighbor works for a Costal refinery here in NJ and he said there is no real difference between the octane grades. The higher octaine fuels are less likely to have premeture detonation (less knocking and pinging). That's it.

I look at it this way.... If premium or the one right under is $.10 more, your only paying $1.60 per fill more. Not that big of a deal to me to make sure I have no gasoline related issues with my baby....
