87 is now $2.49. Unless you've tuned your car for it running anything other than 87 is a complete waste.

 

You know I'm mad. I went back and forth from PA to NJ for a mustang car show. I dropped 60.00 bucks alone for gas.

2.23 regular
2.35 plus
2.44 premium :angry:

 

I paid $2.06 for 87 Wednesday in Northwest MS. when I left for Atlanta. Paid $2.13 for 87 in Jasper Alabama later that day. When I got back home on Friday it was up to $2.29 for 87. It went up 23 cents in 2 days!!!!!!! :notnice: :notnice: :angry: :angry:

 

2.37 for 87 and 2.52 I believe for 91, I remebered when I first started driving it was about $1.21 for mid-grade (89). Man this stinks !!!

Matt

 

$2.29 for 87, $2.39 for plus & $2.49 for premium here in Pittsburgh.

 

Gas prices here are somewhere around 2.43.. But if u think gas is expensive look at this site..

here in NJ....today the lowest i saw for 87 was $2.21.....its getting rediculous now

 

checked yesturday and it was 1.93 for regular at wal-mart and you save .03 cents per if you use a wal-mart gift card to buy the gas

so


87 = 1.90

 

parma, ohio 94octane $ 2.69 .

 

when i was at alantic city last week... it was 1.94 or something like that

 

Tony, who tuned your car to run on premium? The dealer? What was involved? Is there a noticeable improvement in performance? If so, is it worth the extra cost of having to purchase more expensive fuel?

 

$2.22 for Reg.......yesterday-here :nono:
$2.32 for Mid-Grade
$2.42 for Ultra

 

All of our cars are tuned for it. Quote from the August 5.0 mustangs and super ford:
"Ford has tuned the knock sensors so well to the stock engine that the Spanish Oak is actually programmed with premium fuel ignition and fuel tables, but the car is sold as a regular fuel car. That means with reegular fuel, Ford is relying on the knock sensors to constantly maintain timing because the computer is trying to run aggressive, premium-fuel spark tables all the time"

I have noticed that the car runs smoother and without detonation on premium fuel. For me 2 dollars extra a tank once a week is a small price to pay for running what the engine is designed to run, it's cheap insurance.

But with the knock sensors you are unlikely to damage the engine running 87 so to each his own.

 

regular------71 cents/gallon
premium----78 cents/gallon

i'm not gonna lie, life is sweet living in the middle east. we've got 2 05's crusing around town now, a black and a redfire.

 

holy crap, I'm gonna have to move.

 

If I don't move over there, I'm going to create a new combustion chamber for my car to run off of urine .

Matt

 

Yeah but buying all that beer to keep the urine flowing isn;t cheap either!

 

"i'm not gonna lie, life is sweet living in the middle east."

I seriously doubt that!

 

It's not as involved as that at all Chris. I've got the Predator tuner and it comes with tunes for 87, 91, and 93 Octane fuel.

All it really is, is timing, I have been able to actually to advance it a little bit as well, although I may have to undo that sice the temps are in the stratosphere and if I stay put in traffic for awhile I'll get some pinging until some fresh air can start flowing thru again.

 

$2.53 for 87 and $2.79 for 92. It looks like the $3.00 barrier will soon be broken.
