Nope! That doesn't work either! We must have the same friend.... [shrug]

A friend of mine told me he has been using unleaded for 2 years and everything is normal on his Ralliart. What do you guys think? It is very tempting!

All gas is unleaded per federal guidelines . 87 89 91 93 etc . Its all unleaded . Octane rating is the only difference.

Got u a cobb accessport. Load stage 1 with 92oct so if u r somewhere 93 is not available u can load that tune to adjust for it. Other than that run 93 as long as u can.

Used regular gas coming off the lot lasted one day! I can tell the difference when using 93 octane ! All I use now well worth it.

Yea, $4.06 was back in 2011. It's about $3.70 here in Texas now.

In NJ and PA, there's a quick stop/one-stop-shop/convenience store called WaWa. Super WaWa's have gas stations, and they have a 92 Octane. That seems to actually make my car the happiest with the fuel mileage aspect. The only gas that goes in my car is Shell 93, Riggins 93, Sunoco 93 or WaWa 92.

I was told by Chad at CBRD that Sunoco 93 and Exxon 93 are good choices so those are the only 2 I use.
