I heard from various people that Shell 93 is the way to go.....once in a while I put 104 in it, from a gas station not to far away.

We're lucky up here, our Sunocos still sell 94 octane. That's all I use!

With 91 going for over $3 per gallon you might as well use race gas at $5 per. Are you sure that hasn't gone up too? My local Chevron at $3.21 now!!!

I ONLY use Shell V-Power 93 in my car. Its 2.59 here but WELL worth it. Like the name says, it gives you more power for the engine. You don't want to use those others and get a bad batch of gas. Causes knocking!
