I only run 104 unleaded. It's good for high boost applications like yours.

the manual calls for 91 octane or better (which most cars that require 'premium' only acutally require 91, cuz thats all thats available in some areas). 87 can be used in emergency purposes, but i woudlnt drive too hard with 87 in there. I only use 93 because of my tune. I also only buy gas from shell, texaco, chevron, or quick trip, cuz those are all listed as 'top tier' gas (http://www.toptiergas.com) conoco/phillips is also listed, but i dont shop there cuz the NRA has a boycott against them.

93 at only one gas stations...the Exxon @ Crowely Rd and Wilshire Blvd in Burleson...that's my only luck station.

By the way.....if ya'll goto
www.fortworthgasprices.com OR www.dallasgasprices.com ya'll can find out which station has the cheapest gas.

Us folks in Johnson County have the cheapest gas because they aren't required to have the 10% ethanol additive.
