premium is cleaner too, better for the engine in the long run. also a higher octane fuel burns slower and will give a slight increase in mpg, will it be alot? not necessarily but in all honesty its not much more expensive if any. yes it says 20 cents or whatever more, but its actually better fuel and you will get better mileage. so i would definately, without any doubt in my mind run premium under any circumstances.

used it all doesn't really matter you may get like 1-3 mpg more. but for .35 cents less who cares...also your hp/efficiency's may go down but if you just looking to save by all means SAVE!! LOL

If you have ever seen a piston riddled from detonation/knock and it looks like a moon rock you SHOULD never run 87. Summer is here and with the heat come knock. If you run 87 just sell your car you don't deserve it.

"Can you run 87....blah..blah" Yes you can, is it safe, no. Can you f**k a hooker without a condom....yes, but should you?

Peace,
Craig.

would running 89 octane be safe?

ezwip

10,000 miles / 20 mpg = 500
500 * .20 = $100

I'd add up what that costs at $4.50 but you'd be pissed off.

if you dont want to pay the extra $3.50 a tank, then just dont even bother having a camaro, no point.

Yeah if you want to save go buy a 1.6 liter civic with less torque than my laptop and put 87 in that and drive it around.

Running the fuel additive "Ethos" they claim you can run regular gas just fine. I would think mid grade would be ok. If you really romp on it an extra few buck savings isn't worth detonation.

To what 87 and WhiteWS6 said.

Premium is like 1 extra gallon. Is it worth saving your LS1? Thats up to your discretion.

That stuff might actually be worth buying to increase fuel economy according to this: http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...ble.html?cat=3
Not sure what it does for octane and detonation though, maybe just add it to 93 to get better mileage.

wishing youd put 93 in when that stang or ricer pulls up.... you can tell you drive a six banger.. haha.. if it effects your performance enough to make you worry when a stang or ricer pulls up.. it definately doesnt belong in your car.. if i had to worry about them at all.. damn...

if i was stock id be putting mid grade in... but not with a cam.. certainly not a big cam

nice.. just bp, not any certain octane... just plain ole' BP? haha

sslateron

Yeah the Ethos does work. You need to run it in the oil and gas. Running a high compression motor, just should keep running premium.

I just keep the winter beater insured. It uses 87 very sparingly.

not to tottaly hijack the thread, but has anyone besides myself tryed different premiums? i went from running a few tanks of shell and was getting 15.6 mpg, the switched to bp and now getting around 17.2 mpg I havent changed driving styles either.

91 octane is $4.87 down the street from me

I'm all about saving a buck, but $3.60 a tank isn't worth the risk or loss of power

Hey man, look, I want an LS1, but I couldn't afford to buy one. Because I have a V6, I don't even bother with any sort of racing. I know my place, not like you gotta feel like you have to put me in my place or anything You just strike me as your everyday jerk, so whatever.

93 won't do me any good because my motor doesn't benefit from it. It was designed to run on 87, so that's what I use. If I had an LS1 I would certainly put 93 in it as that is what it calls for. Dumb not to IMO.
