In CA we do not have 93 octane so we are doomed to run 91 on our EVOs. If there was 93 octane gas in CA, then I will use that gas for sure. Why do people get an EVO if they cannot afford the gas to run it!!!
Let's say u fill up 6 times a week and u fill up a full tank...U save $1.40 per tank. 6*52=312*$1.40=$436.80. You save $436.8 IF u fill up 6 times a week. Now that's almost impossible. More likely if u drive a lot, it's 6 times per month. 6*12*$1.40=$100.80. Is it worth the $100 each year??? You save less than $10 per month. Just not eat out one night can save u more than that plus gas!!!
Is is worth saving 10c/gal and going back to 91 octane from 93??? With the price going up and up its starting to look attractive. I know in alot of states 91 is the most you can get. Any adverse affects of doing this? I have put 91 in it when driving out of the state before, but I have been hessitant to really get on it. Plus it was all interstate driving.
Thanks for the advice

so let's say you fill up once a week....so you save $1 dollar a week...
52 weeks in a year...so you save $52 a year...how much do you love this $52? I'm not trying to sway decisions here, but that's your bottom line question...how important is $52 dollars to me?
