Default What Kind Of Fuel Do You Use? Reg., Mid., Prem.

Whats up guys, I've been thinking about getting either a mustang gt or a Z and I'm just comparing both. I just wanted to know what kind of fuel is required for the Z, since the fuel prices are getting crazy in all. Here in Orlando some of the prices are hitting $3.05 for reg. Hell I even think a bike could also be in the picture if I see prices hit $4 a gal.

Can't gum up a Z with anything less than Premium.

If you're worried about gas prices ... why are you looking at the Z or the GT. Go get something with much better gas milage. If you plan on dishing for gas, then you can consider these two cars.

The Z isn't very good at holding gas, and you really HAVE to use premium. Same for the GT if you want life out of a V8 engine ...

But good luck. Hopefully you'll be a future Z owner if you figure out it's the car for you. :]

If you are worried about gas mileage, can always consider a vette. They get great hwy mileage.

I use 93. I would never even think of using 87 in my Z. She'd probably hate me forever.
