Gas prices

save some money and run 87.. you can run 91 or 93.. it will slightly improve your gas mileage (nullified by the fact that u paid an extra 30 cents per gallon) and give you a very slight power gain (ive noticed 1-2 hp difference between the 87 and 91 octane) but that could even be circumstantial. just save yourself the money

The sustancial amount of money saved is just ridiculous.

The VX gas tank holds 22.5 gallons of gas at 4.05 is $ 91.12 the premium 22.5 gallons at 4.17 $ 93.82 now have the maths done & see how much money is saved.

well your premium and regular are much closer than mine.. the local gas station here the 87 is 3.79 and the 91 is 4.18. it saves about $8.50 per tank to use 87 octane

lets say you get 17 mpg and fill your tank up with 20 gallons each time... you get 340 miles to a tank.. if you drive 15k miles a year.. you should fill up 44 times a year.. you would save yourself almost $350 a year using 87 octane

to balance the cost.. your gas mileage would have to increase by 1.8mpg (a little over a 10% increase) by using premium.. very very doubtful you will see that kind of gain

Oh yes for you the 87 octane works,there's also something overviewed,you might gas up you VX more time then me,i gas my VX twice a month;That's probably the difference n


By the way ETLSPORT are up for the meeting july the next year some where in NY or NJ ?

If you saved $8.50 for two tanks & then found three bucks in your living room cusions...you too could have the honor of "site supporter" below your user name...

or you could figure that higher octane would create less carbon and therefore could make your motor last longer.....
whats the difference in 3 dollars per tank??? getting the smaller starbucks in the morning? or maybe one less beer at the bar?
