Yep, it's pushing $2.40 a gallon here in Vegas. I still wouldn't pump anything else into the car though.

Only put premium in it. I would never consider putting in anything less. I mean think about it. Most people who are using less than premium go with the next grade down which is a whopping $.10 a gallon difference usually. So if you have to put 10 gallons in your car you just saved a whole dollar Is that dollar really worth it to have your engine run at less than optimal performance?

$2.33 a gallon here. All I use is premium, I can't understand why people (people in general) bitch so much about fuel costs. Don't drive or car pool, just be glad you don't have to buy fuel in Europe or Canada!!

If your car is stock then using a higher octane than 91 is a waste of money no? Unless the stock ECU can somehow sense the higher octane and compensate?

That would be kind of cool to use mid grade gas in this gas crisis.
