What gas do u guys use?

Post by Csillag »

Well, like the subject says, just curious what ya guys puttin' in the cars. Curious cuz I've been putting Super in it (regardless of what co., tho I prefer Sunoco's gas), and although my car behaves alot better ie: better mileage, better pickup/spunk, she can't go more than around 2500, 3000km tops, without needing an oil change, and the oil at this point is thick 'n black. 'N there's no way in heck I'm using regular, so I spose I gotta try midgrade...but ...just curious what you guys r usin'.

I use the regular 87 fuel ~68cents per litre. I have to add ~2.5L of oil every 5,000km's...

Car still pulls very good and there is no noticeable performance decrease.

I have always used Chevron 91 octane. Now that I am turbocharged I have been using 104 Octane boost as well. Runs excellent. :cool:
