It always depends on the time of day you are filling up. Which of course leads to the next question, full tank, 7/8ths, 3/4, 5/8ths, 1/2, or 3/8ths? Is it ever ok to go below 3/8ths? Is so, what type of gas is ok to go below 3/8ths?

Olive Oil
Extra Virgin is usually better for Supercharged cars.

Do most drivers keep the original air in their tires or go aftermarket?

im thinking of adding a 3 speed wiper motor and removing the brakes and using the e-brake to cut down on weight along with oil injection to the air box for better top end power
