interesting... I usually get premium... even tho is HELLA expensive then regular... its just a feeling that i gotta feed my baby the good stuff =)

but i mean hey, if i can save a couple of bucks, then i might go back to using some 87 hahah sorry rx... gas too expensive here in the bay area... premium at 1.97... horrible!!!

what gas stations do you guys use??? does it matter? i usually use shell or chevron... dunno but does it matter or is it just the name???

btw, how do you guys check your highway and city driving mpg??

i looked at my computer and its mainly city driving and i only get about 14.9 mpg... so is it just me or is somethin wrong lol, everyone seems to get way better then me =)

Default Gas et al

I usually use Chevron because its closer to my home and I prefer to use the same gas for my car. [Personally I dont like to make changes in products I use- Eg I use the same shampoo / bodywash etc because I believe my body gets "accustomed" to it: same for the car]

If 91/92 were indeed better, I would go for it as I intend to drive my RX to the ground, but its not so

I like to use Chevron or Amoco (which is now BP). I will also use Texaco or Conoco. I prefer the first two, but will pretty much use any branded gas.

I have, however, started buying gas from Kroger because it's so darn cheap! 1.17 for regular, 1.37 for premium and you can get 3 cents off per gallon if you have your Kroger plus card. I don't like the plus card, but that's not too shabby!
