What grade of gas do you pump?
What does every put in there tank?
Do you see better mileage with premium rather than regular?
Do you get a better performance kick out of premium, or it doesn't matter?
I'm dont know which one works better for me, but I throw in premium. It seems to run better on it.

I always use regular in the Hyundais. They run the same and get the same mileage on all grades of gas.
I only use regular...no need for the premium stuff unless you are F/I...then you will always need premium because of Knock and pre-ignition.

I notice about 15% better gas mileage on my accent with premium and an ECU reset. More than makes up for the 7% higher cost of gas.
The Astro van, Honda spirit, and lawnmower all get 87 octane.

I have noticed the beta running a bit smoother. It feels like I have a cam installed. It must have something to do with the timing, I must of advanced/retarded it when I did the timing. But anyways its smoother.
