That is one thing I did not mention... it is 87, SHELL!
That is the only gas I put in my baby.

Yeah, I've been running shell lately because they are only 1 cent more than the cheapest gas station for 30 miles(still $2.75 though ). I get better power and about 15% increase in mileage compared to the others. Next best stuff is from an HEB, I also get good mileage on that even though the power isn't quite as good.

I guess its cheaper over here because we've got refineries so they dont have to ship it as far.

Gas here is a bit higher, I just dropped a quick $50 for some 93 @ 3.29 a gallon. 93 tends to be about .10 to .20 a gallon more than 89 or 91 octane.

Ran it over the weekend on the stock 93 performace tune, also put 93 octane in her.

Got 15.1 in the 1/4 mile

Now, I was hoping for 15.2 with my custom 87 tune, but heck... with that run, I am now hoping to get to the 14.9 mark =)
