Gas mileage in these cars sucks plain and simple. Especially when it costs 3.50 for a ******* gallon.

so your saying common sense is to not put premium in it? i kinda thought the premium thing was bullshit since its just an old fashion not high compression pushrod v8. but i figured i'd shell out the extra 20 cents a gallon rather than f anything up

Well its not like ur going to blow up ur car if you put 87 in.. they just recommend that, I mean if you were making a car wouldn't you suggest putting gold into the fuel tank if it ran on elements like that? Just to say put the highest blah blah, I always put 93 in my trans am but my other beater I just use 87 and when I see cars like a 1995 lexus sedan saying it takes premium thats kinda bullshit, it doesn't need it its just suggesting it and for people who just listen to that put the more expensive gas in. Cars like corvettes and vipers etc (sports cars) Then I would say its wise to put 93 in being as of it running rich and then it could come down to a loss of power in minor eyes if your just putting 87 in. Theres a difference in just putting 93 in for anything any kind of car or putting it in a car that would actually accel from using it.
