I felt jealous that so many others are making use of our great new forum's poll feature, so I thought I'd ask something that I'm curious of:
What octane do you use?

I use to put in 93RON, but realized its not necesary with the 924S engine. I just put in 87RON, saves me alot of money.

Heres something to add to the poll, how much is gas in your area? Regular is between $1.56 and $1.60 right now around where i live. In Jersey its something like $1.37 for regular.

I would like to try putting in that high octane stuff they have at the private airfeilds, i think its sometehing like 103 or 107 octane. Probably have flames coming out of my exhaust.

91 is very common at all gas stations around my parts. 93 is a lot harder to find. I use 91 or 93 whenever I see it.

I use 92 normally. I would use 90 w/ ethanol, but then my car doesnt want to start half the time. Does anyone else have problems with ethanol? Its like the starter doesnt even want to turn. Then when I switch to 91 or 92 non-ethanol it seems to work perfectly.

I suppose I should explain my vote, since everyone else is:
91, because I haven't found 93 or 95 in Phoenix.
