Re: Is everyone here running premium?

premium is cheaper than pistons.

I know guys who have turned the boost down and run regular before and I am sure its been done on accident from time to time.
Personally, I would never do it but if you decide to try it I would definitely stay out of the boost and run a scantool regularly.
Alky would be recommended but would also increase your fuel consumption cost up there with premium.

Its not a cheap truck man, don't skimp on it or you'll be sorry.

I still run 100 octane. Current price is $6.24/gal. Ty is not my DD though.
I have an alky kit, just haven't mustered up the motivation to install it.

It's 93 or nothing for me. I paid $120 in gas to drive my truck last weekend (went out of state)... With the cost of premium these days, I'm glad that I drive my truck less than 3,000 miles a year.

Re: Is everyone here running premium?

allegedly the person who owned mine before me ran it on nothing but 87 octane, and the motor came to me fine in mine...this by no means constitutes my advocating 87 octane, given all the issues these vehicles had with detonation with premium gas....dont do it, a good used geo metro is cheaper than fixing the damage running cheap gas in a ty/sy could do

Re: Is everyone here running premium?

mine is a DD and never a drop of anything but premium has gone in the tank, every car i have ever ownd took premium. that and it's only about $200 more a year in gas for my DD, less then $20 a month. Also only top tier gas goes in, Their are no cheveron or texaco near me so i stick to shell, sometimes sunoco. NEVER EVER USE WAWA GAS, i love wawa but their 92 octane junk isn't worth putting in a pinto

just consider 20 cents per gallon difference verses new parts and machine work

Only have 91 octane in Missouri so I turned boost down to 11 psi in code $59. I have a 20psi file I load when I use 112 at the track though.

I run 90 octane (best we get in AK) plus 1½-2 gallons of Xylene in every tank. Mine is not a DD. Haven't driven it in over a year, actually.

Clever is sw of Springfield. 93 went away around here in 03 or 04. One station has 93 for 25 cents more per gallon than 91 octane.
