I HAD to use 93 in my mustang because I ran so much timing. Even the middle grade caused knocking and sputtering.

I'd just say to try the medium in a small amount when your tank is low and see how it goes. Just like testing a cleaner or conditioner on the leather, do a little in a small spot and see how it goes. Like I said, mine runs just find with the medium, but I wouldn't grab some crap gas from anywhere I didn't trust, just to save a few cents. I personally only like Chevron.

now its time to get financing im a 1st time car buyer b/c my parents gave me a hand me down a while back and im still driving it. I mite need a co-signer and my interest rate might be high !! does anyone have any advice for this kind of situation??

If it's at a Lexus dealer, they should do the financing. Depending on your age and credit history it may or may not happen. I had a credit score of 746 and was denied by many big name and little name banks. This was through some mom and pop dealer, which I will never do business with again. I found my GS at a Lex dlr, and got approved through Lexus/Toyota Motor Corp. with a low apr %.

Have one of your parents buy the car with you as a cosigner.

Good luck!
