Re: What Octane do you use?

I use whatever regular unleaded is (87 or 89). I'll vote after I get gas next time to see what it.

I use 87. I've noticed (on the road) that many stations offer 87 and 89 at the same price, however the 89 is ethanol enhanced.

Bump to the top. A little more than 1000 miles on my Ridgeline and all it has ever drunk is 87 octane Chevron.

I have always found the higher octanes made my vehicles run smoother! 91

Re: What Octane do you use?

IMHO, the only cars that really need the higher octane are '60s musclecars. As a side note, I've owned two 1990 Jaguar XJ6's that were labelled saying to use only premium, but following the advice of the Jaguar forum I used to frequent, tried and kept using 87 octane. I still have one of the Jag's now. No detonation/backfiring/hesitation. Always passes smog checks and has plenty of power. I just mention the Jaguar because a lot of people are under the false impression that upscale vehicles would require more expensive gasoline. Not really so.
