Default fuel question???????/

been reading articles latley on gas. reputable columns such as "click and clack" and "the majic mechanic" (in my area). question asked was: my vehicle requires the higher octane fuel. will it hurt to run the unleaded regular??

their answers were (in short form ) were: you'll notice little diff in day to day driving. if you're headed for the drag strip you need the higher octane.

i'm curious if any of us have tried the 87 octane and what the results were????

You'll probably see a drop in gas mileage and pinging might be an issue. But it'll run.

Just drop the Fitch Fuel Catalyst in your tank. It solves all fuel-related problems!
