[Shotimes] Gas

[Dave Garber]

Been running 87 in my SHO's for the last few years with no ill-effects.
The 95, 94, 91, 97 and 99 all seem(ed) fine with it. When it's hot out,
if I stab the throttle on either of my remaining SHO's (91 and 99), I
get a quick ping out of it. But it's nothing even remotely severe enough
to warrant running over 87 octane.

Somehow gas prices seem to increase faster than my paychecks do.  Gas in
my town went up like $.20 in the past week or so, and it's driving me
crazy. Yesterday when i was at the pump i noticed that the difference
from regular (87) to mid grade (89) was $.10 a gallon as normal, but the
difference from mid (89) to premium (93) was $.14 instead of the normal
$.10 a gallon. Any clues on why the variance?

Also, i know people have talked about this before, but i can't remember
the outcome.  Is there a noticeable difference between using regular or
mid grade and premium.  I've always put premium in my SHO, but that's
just because i was told to.  I know somebody in the past said they ran
regular and it ran fine, but i was wondering what other people were
using.  Sometimes when i go to the pump i get the urge to save my self
that little bit of money and pump the cheaper stuff.
