But I thought that medium would be good enough??? Well lets just see what others have to say.

And I don't notice any difference in performance; I mean I guess it could be better But I guess it's not worth it.
Don't pick on Iggy...He didn't know better.

91 is the only thing available here. Thats what I use. I used to always use Sunoco 94 in NY. I know im getting screwed by using premium, but I do it just in case it makes a difference.

I haven't seen anything higher than 92 since I lived in NY..they have 94 there, which is all my stangs (which really didn't need it) got.

Most of you probably won't notice any difference in performance. But you can notice the extra mileage you get out of each tank. I would get another 30 miles or so out of 93 vs 87 when I ahd the '98 Max. My 2002 doesn't even know what 87 tastes like. It only gets 93. And on rare occasions 100.

Citgo, Sunoco (GT100) and 76 all make 100 octane unleaded gas.
Sunoco even makes GT104 which is 104 octane gas that isn't street legal. Only 20% of it is real gas and the rest additives. It is 3.5% Oxygen and the legal limit on street gas is 2.9% . It has a minor supercharging effect because of that.
The Citgo 100 may not be legal either becasue it is dyed blue and labeled racing gas.

ah....that's why there is no more 92...thought they tried to cut down cost and maintain the price. Glad that this summer the gas price didnt rock up sky high like last year (2.25 per gallon for 91)

it says in the owners manual to use premium, ,and the gas does effect performance....if you look at the review in the newest sport compact car mag, they do a dyno with a 350z with different octane gas, ,and it makes a few hp difference

Got Gas??
I use only Chevron Supreme (93) here in the ATL (that'd be Atlanta).
And although I can't say as I've ever "stooped" to the 89 or lower - I feel that the extra $1 - $1.50 I spend for the premium on each fill-up is worth the piece of mind and subliminal performance gains.
My car goes faster after I wash and wax it too.....doesn't everybody's??!!
