I run 90 (ethanol blend) from husky/mohawk. Its the same price as 87 so doesn't hurt my wallet and ethanol blended is supposed to be better for the environment. Plus with that damned kyoto accord, soon all Canadian gas stations will have to sell ethanol blended gas within the next few years anyways so might as well get used to running it. Been using it in cars for 5 years already and never had a problem. My dad runs it in his chipped and supercharged 97 thunderbird (2002 mustang gt engine) and it works great for him too.

Btw, I do not run my car down to empty, that's just what I would do *if* I worried about sediment buildup. I run it down to E on the fuel gauge, which as I've said is very different. I find that running it down to E is a good balance between not getting too close to running out of gas while not having to fill up too often.

I hear ya man. I know there is still 3 gallons left when the light comes on. I was just giving out some knowledge to people.
along the whole "sediment in your gas tank" issue...
isn't that what a fuel filter is for? (not saying you shouldn't run it to E, but still saying it shouldn't kill you once in a while).
and i also want to agree with everyone who understands that anything higher than 87 UNLESS YOUR ENGINE IS TUNED (and no, a CAI and catback is not tuned) won't do a damn bit of good except make you poorer and OPEC richer.
