    I have avoided doing the timing bump so that I can still run 87 if want in my 94gt. I like to try and put in at least 89 if my wallet can afford it. As for price I am not for sure but I thought I saw costco for under $4 a gallon a couple of days ago here in gilbert but that could have doubled by now.

    Does anyone else notice better milage with the higher octane? I can sometimes see 2-3 mpg difference with 91 octane besides alot less pingin and such.

    Usually get gas at QT on Bell and CC 92 Octane!

    The daily driver get's the cheapo if that's cheap today 87 $3.95. The daily driver is a 2004 Crown Vic Police Interceptor color Black!

    Where are you getting 92? Inquiring minds want to know

    I just had the Saleen dynoed and Rob stated that all the vehicles are tuned with 91 Octane. He did say that under presure the only fuel that didn't breakdown was Shell. He strongly recommends Shell and said that he has had bad experience with Chevron. If I stand corrected QT is part of Chevron as well.

    i have been running qt in mine since day one. no issues with pinging or anything of the like. and i have abused my car quite hard at the track. chevron and texaco have merged, but other than that, qt does not have the same gas. as i have ran chevron and can tell ya, that stuff sucks ass. additives FTL!

    91 octane in the 95 Mustang my 5.0HO won't run on nothin' less. The Jeep 5.7L Hemi takes 89 or higher only, I did run some 91 in it before the prices got too high and I notice the increase in milage. And the mini willys seem to run just fine on 87 Oh and btw, I run Arco fuel in everything cause they seem to have the lowest prices in my area of town, had no problems with their fuel.
