I run 93 in my cobra. and yes gas prices are about to kill me so I am going to start driving my mothers beater that she never drives anymore. *lord help me in the plastic 4door saturn*

I use 93. Is it bad to switch from 93 to 91? Gas prices here have gone up too but dropped a little to 1.81 for 93 octane.

all we have in Cali is 91 octane; my 96 seems to run fine on it and that is with a chip (timing advance) so I think you should be fine.

BTW: I paid $1.77 for 87 octane at lunch today for my daily driver s10. it's between 1.89 and 2.09 for the "good" 91 octane shit......

Gas Prices

In San Antonio, I'm running 93 ... I filled-up today at the military base, and it was $1.60. I've seen it as high as $1.80+. Haven't used anything less than 93 Octane, and if it gets unaffordable, I'll drive the wife's LeSabre.

Although I usually run 91 octane ($1.899-1.999 per gallon), I have run straight 100 octane ($4.699 per gallon) on a DiabloChip tuned for 91. No sensor fouling, no problems...

$1.76 for 93 in Perrysburg.. I can't drive the car right now anyway -too much crap on the road. Hopefully we get the rain tomorrow/Fri. to wash the salt off the road & the price comes down about $.30 cents..

I hear that. Westerville here, the cobra hasn't seen the light of day since this crap started. To answer the thread's question, I run nothing but Sunoco 94. I got it tuned on shell 93, but I figure it's a small price to pay for a little engine insurance...

Mobil 93 Octane ALL THE TIME, I am pretty religious when it comes to gas so that my car can be more predictable, Ive tried all brands of fuel or most of them anyway and Mobil seems to work the best, or maybe it just seems that way ??? LOL :thumbsup:
