Do you use premium fuel?
I put 91+ in all the time. It's recommended so it's what I use, unfortunately 91 is uncommon in ma, so I'm stuck wasting a few extra cents on 93.
I think my manual actually says 87 can be used in an emergency if there is at least several gallons of premium in the tank and you fill it with premium soon. Some makes of premium cars like Audi claim engine damage can result from running 87.
Needless to say some highly paid engineer determined 91+ was the recommended fuel so would be a good idea to follow that.

Insurance is ridiculous.. I don't have full coverage. Only liability. I live with it. Just drive carefully lol. It's either I pay $900 a year for that or I pay like $1800-$2000 for full. Screw that, my car isn't worth it.
Haha and oh yeah.. the insurance isn't even in MY name.. it's under my mom's name. If it were in my name it'd be a couple hundred more.
Anyways. I only use premium.

i have full coverage on all of my vehicles, i'd hate for my policy to pay for the other guy's car to get fix and i'm stuck with damage, but i'm married and in my 30s but trust me prinny i understand as i remember the quotes from when i was 18 and had my mind set on getting a 5.0 it changed my mind in a hurry.

If it wasn't your fault then their insurance would still have to pay for the damages to you car though.
And haha yeah.. the quotes are insane.. I'm 19, but that doesn't make much of a difference.

My mom's choice not mine lol. Just as long as I don't get into an accident or get any tickets then I'll be ok.
It'd still effect my family either way even if she put it under my name and something happened to me.. then i'd be labeled as a risky driver and their insurance rates would still be affected because I live in their house.. soooo no difference either way.
If that's what you're referring to.^

Nothing but premium, and I fill up about 1.5 times per week! 55 mile commute each way to work and back. I stick with premium, because when I need to jump on it to get around an 18-wheeler or to get out of someone's way, the power's there without the pinging. I get right at 24 MPG on average, but I probably drive a bit harder than most folks...

Premium only here. Nothing but the best for my girl. I get dramatically different MPGs as well from different brands. Valero is what my baby loves the best.
