Default Anyone running Regular Unleaded ???

Got the flame suite on and its all buckled up with home-made armour attached ....

I keep moving further and further away from work it seems and now I have myself a 100+ mile round trip to work including straight from one end of town, through the city, and to the other side. I have the vette and a truck at my disposal to drive and am considering "shuffling" my vehicles to save on gas costs as its killin me in the wallet !!!

So, since the vette does good on gas mileage I may just make it my "commuter" car so I dont have to sell it off to buy an econo box. However, filling up with Super instead of Regular pretty much offsets the good fuel economy. Should I even consider running Regular and would you expect a decrease in fuel economy and/or exactly why do I need to run Super anyways !!!????

Yeah, yeah ... I know ... why own an expensive VETTE if I cant spend the extra few bucks at the pump, etc., etc. ... IT IS SO I CAN FREAKIN SQUEAK BY WHEN IT COMES BILL TIME AND PAY FOR ALL THE OTHER TOYS

Thanks in advance ....
