I have ran 87 and 89 in mine. No difference besides the price so I usually fill up with 87.

Out of curiosity I tried ethanol free once and after a couple of Miles the truck behaved a bit sluggish.
So back to "cheap" 89

I use 91 octane because it's the only gas around I can find without ethanol.....otherwise I would use 89 octane minimum.

91 octane as well since stock and now tuned as well. I use the Shell gasoline around town. Seems to be the best from driving experience and what my data logs say.

89 octane, usually Shell. Have tried Wawa and other unbranded gas but I loose MPG, and per the "buttometer" it doesn't seem to run as strong. I also use a good quality fuel system cleaner every 5K when I change my oil.

I run 89 octane every tank. When I know I'm going out of town on a trip I normally fill up with 91 octane.

Each fill up I will normally add 5oz of TCW3 or MMO.
Basically @ 640:1 ratio.



I've been adding that too the last 3 tanks, can't say I've noticed any difference but maybe you're not supposed to notice? I use just over 6 oz on my 32g tank. You think the brand of TCW3 matters at all?
