I have a SS/TC and use 89 with 10% enthonel so I don't have to put HEET in my gas tank because of the -5 degree weather we are having.

IMO .. I use ONLY mobil, and sometimes sunoco. i try to stay away from citgo, shell, cumbys, etc, for the fact that they water them down, id rather have purer fuel in my car.

no your gas was still cheap when the prices sky rocekted... maybe its cheaper because you guys get paid less when working... so they make everyone "affordable" except for cigs... but gas and booze have always been cheap comparred to ANNNNYONE else lol. so when you think your prices are high for gas... just come over the bridge and fill up. lol

Yeah, the E10 **** here in NY is everywhere. I'd rather use traditional gas.

I also keep a 5 gallon tank in the trunk filled. It's my reserves.

you're kiddin me, right? this whole statement is ass backwards new jersey has the 2nd highest average income per state in the country first off 2nd off gas was like 5 dollars a gallon a few months back. people from jersey move to pennsylvania because it's so much more affordable.

but other than that, i never like to complain about gas prices, most of the time i don't even look. since it dropped so suddenly recently, i take a look just because i get nervous that they're putting in regular. First time i filled up and got a receipt for like 20 dollars i was like whoa buddy what the ****

93 octane here

most stations i fill up at (BP, Sonoco, Hess) only offer 87, 89 and 93. even if i see 91 i go 93 it's only 5 cents more usually.

if your still paying attention to this thread, it's been proven that 93octane is better for the ss/tc LNF. So where ever u can find 93 octane stick with it
