What GAS do you put in your ride?

Well basically I been using Hess and putting in Premium 93 Octane since I purchased the car in January 2008. Would it harm the car if I switched to Regular 87 Octane or should I just keep putting in the 93? It's like a $10 difference on filling the tank this is why I am asking...

I usually go to Walmart because I've got one of their gift card things that gives $0.03 off a gallon and get regular 87 octane. When not using that card, I just go to a nearby Pix (Publix gas station). I very rarely put premium in my car, maybe every 3 months.

You guys are friggin' crazy.  Costco 87 octane and call it a day.  Save your money, the 4-cylinders aren't optimized to take advantage of the extra octanes.

If you guys read your manual you will find that the I4 is designed to use 87 octane gas.

I can. I have an AEM FIC to adjust the amount of fuel I put into it. You can't without any fuel management.

With fuel management and a proper tune, you can run E-85.  Some people change fuel injectors and fuel lines as preventative maintenance, although not absolutely necessary in some cars.  Some cars will need new injectors and new lines though.

I though u can't use ethanol because it will eat up the rubber hoses because I search and found a lot of E85 conversion kits.

E85 will damage certain hoses.  I'm not sure what our cars have though.  You must have hoses that will not deteriorate from the E85.

I run 93 because that is what my car is tuned for.  I've been running 93 ever since I've been on k-pro.  Before that I normally ran 87.
