What kind of gas?

Did a search but oddly enough I didn't get ANY results on the subject.

What kind of gas do you put in your G, if regular do you experience any engine knocking? Any performance issues? Worse fuel economy?

Yes but the money you save isn't worth the time it takes for you to stop the pump, activate the next octane level, and continue filling.

The money you save filling up purely on 93 versus purely on 87 or 89 ends up being maybe 2 pairs of shoes each year.

How long have you been filling up with 89 and did you notice any issues because of it?

i filled 89 once when katrina came.
then i went back to 93.
i've seen ppl using mix but i dont think it's worth it.
i just wanted to share my thought.

i used to only use 92+ then when gas prices soared i changed down to 89. I've noticed NOTHING different besides a lower bill. I do not race my car on a track professionally. I just drive 120 miles a day, so the cost savings was substantial a month, especially when prices were crazy (3.35/gal for 92) near my place in hollywood.
