[Shotimes] Gas

[Rick Glass]

I have always run 87 in all of my SHO's, no ill effects....some will argue 
about ping, or spark waste, or whatever else...but at $2.39/gal here....I 
couldn't afford to drive, $2.19 is kicking my ass pretty good.....
oh, and my SHO's have all gotten slightly better mpg on 87 than on 
93.....but not ususally on the 1st tank.
I say run 3 tanks of 87 and evaluate the performance, mpg, and throttle 
response...if you feel you are losing something, go back to premium.
