I use the CHEAPEST gas I can find....here locally, it all comes out of the same truck, no matter the "brand"...that's a fact!
That is definately the truth here in NC. Even on Pope AFB/Ft. Bragg, it all comes in the same truck. but i usually try to fill up on base. it is usually about 1-3 cents cheaper.

I get mine from Costco. It is always the cheapest in town. I bought my GT Turbo about 2 months ago and I always put in 87 oct. until last week. Then I tried 93 oct. to see if it made enough difference in gas mileage. I can't be certain yet, but I think my highway mileage went from 23 to 25 MPG on the highway. BTW, I have a bit of a lead foot, with fast accelerations so others may get better mileage.

I agree with jforce, as long as there is a lot of gas pumped thru that station.

I use whichever brand is cheapest, either Racetrack or Exxon, and always 89 octane.

Usually Mobil or Exxon (same thing, really) because 'Speedpass' is so darn convenient.

I always use regular in the Wee Beasty as it is non-turbo.

I use to use premium in my GT but now I go between premium and regular at half tanks. i cant tell much difference between 87 and 91 octane gas. Same terrible mileage and about same performance. When I take long highway trips or when it is over 100 degrees I try and have a full tank of the premium. Gas is just so expensive and sometimes premium is over $0.20 a gallon more expensive!

It probably doesn't make any difference but I always buy premium gas (93 octane?) for my GT. I also use high grade synthetic oil, which probably also doesn't make a difference.

I use whatever is cheapest. Here lately it's been at the Wal Mart gas station where you can use the shopping card and save .03 a gallon. Here in East TN it's averaging $1.89 a gallon for regular and $2.09 for premium.
