If you have a 08 lancer and I go to chevron, which one do you think ? The cheapest one?

He's not talking about an evo, he's talking about a lancer. We only need regular, anything else is just wasting money and mucking up the engine.

They all come in from Japan with the MINIMUM requirement of 87. I think if you get a good quality 87, you are fine. I still would go higher if you can. Good gas station.

Yes, 87 octane. I use conoco, Its a pro clean gas which has cleaners in it. Kinda like fuel injector cleaner but very small amounts of it.

Like amby said, no need to go to a higher octane. It will not help anything but lighten your wallet.

87, and use only "Top-Tier" fuels. Search if you have no idea what those are...

87 is good. If you got the extra buck, bump it up a grade, but 87 is good.

I'm so use to running premium i've just continued to use it my GTS. With the better fuel mpg i still come in cheaper than my EVO per month.
