What fuel does everyone put in their G? I usually put half regular half premium. (Let the tank get to half then fill with other)

Only E85 as of right now, I may switch to 93 on the road courses because there is too much power on E85.

Speaking of fuel, how are the folks in the SE fairing given the fuel shortage?

The car is designed for 91 octane fuel. Use it.

Nothing p1sses me off like being far from home, forced to pump an ethanol blend rated at 93 octane. But it happens on road trips.

And any moment now, the hypermiling igit is going to comment. Brace yourselves.

Premium is all but dried up in Charlotte.

I hedged my bets and got some octane booster over lunch. I'll need to flash either an 87 tune or take the wife's Explorer Sport back to the stock tune if this keeps up.

I'm in Columbia, SC.Hoping I can still get 93 after work today. I'm pretty picky on gas(shell, kangaroo, mobil1). Heard a few gas stations closed down the road. Prices already jumped up like 20 cent. Leak should hopefully be fixed in the next couple weeks!

My wife went to 9 stations before scoring 93 right over the NC/SC border.

Local news was fear mongering that the Metro area would be out of gas by Friday. Sound like an opportunity to blow off, err, work from home on Friday

I rotate between 87 and 93 every week (only use half a tank at a time).
93 if I know that I'm going to be hooning around with friends.
