As a matter of fact, I'll paypal $10 to anyone who finds any conclusive proof that running 93 octane in a car that requires 87 will yield better performance, like higher gas mileage, higher horsepower or faster 0-60 times. This means from a reputable source, not "my dad said that...."
.

Well I cant prove about the gains but I have put premium in cars that run regular and have notice a quicker start off the line....

even though you're from Readington (I graduated from HCRHS in 2000), that can't be counted as anything but anecdotal, for obvious reasons.

I owe this thread an apology, I guess I was wrong. Maybe it was in my head, I thought premium provided slight benefit, but I guess not. I admit I was wrong.

but nig nig is still a *****

it's not octane at this point that provides the proper benefits and gas mileage.. but really the brand.

cheap arco gas will perform and get much worse gas mileage than good 76, or chevron gas.

and no need for insults or name calling in the thread..
flame wars.. = bad = me ____ed off = bad..
