I use 91... I feel like the truck responds better to it than 87.. I was sold on Shell V-Power when I put it in my motorcycle and felt a HUGE difference. It was smoother and faster. also,, stay away from military gas stations.. yeah they are a littlebit cheaper, but the gas is terrible.. the truck hates it when I am broke and thats all I can get..

93 isn't even an option in California. I went to a VP race gas gas station once before and filled her up with 100. for twice the $$$, I didnt really feel a difference... The quad loved it however..

I put some 100 octane in my truck last week and the only difference was the smell.... Had that great drag-pit smell in my own driveway... Not worth the $3.85 a gallon, though...

Yeah, the low price of fuel down here in Loserana is about the only thing that doesn't suck...

I have to use at least 89. If I use 87, my truck won't let me hear the end of it.
