60DRB, you could try the higher tier brands like Shell and bump the timing up .25 in the custom options menu.
Over here, today, the cheapest gas was $3.18 while Shell was $3.23.
3.23-3.18=.05 difference per gallon. If you fill 20 gallons it only costs $1 more to have good gas over poor gas. For me cheap gas will occasionally be so bad that the truck wont run right while top tier gas has a smooth idle and better performance. In city driving I can also have as much as 1-2 mpg swing from poor gas to good gas so for me it is worth paying a few cents more at the pump. Now that I only use the better brands I've bumped up my timing just a hair. This has also translated to better fuel mileage since I never need to lay into the pedal. Two weeks ago I checked mileage and got 15 mpg in stop and go traffic where I used to be happy with 13.5 ish mpg. *Note, this is on paper. I stopped watching economy PIDs a long time ago.
