Use E85 for the lowest cost.

I heard about this guy who invented a pill that you could put in a tank of water. They later found him dead in his house. Coroner ruled suicide but I think it was a conspiracy by big oil.

Yeah it sucks here in California, I would be filling up with 93 but all we have at all of our gas stations is 91.

If you have the cash to buy a Z or G you can afford to use what they recommend....hopefully!

Jizactly, and truthfully, what are you really saving at each fill up? Maybe 3-5 bux (lowest vs highest octane)? If that's what's breaking you, you may need to re-evaluate more than just what car you drive.
