I used to put in a tank of 93, then maybe a few gallons of 89, then back and forth, but not anymore.
Really? Even if it's 89 but Chevron with Techron? lol

Well that's a downside IMO because premium will make a big difference to your wallet! I hope that gas prices don't go back up to $4 a gallon

Does everyone else fill up Premium too? Or have any of you had problems with Regular Unleaded?

And I'm guessing that 87 is a no go for you right, strupgolf?
