Chevrolet recommends that I use premium fuel in my car to achieve best performance and gas mileage. I've always ran regular 87 octane in it, but lately I've noticed the engine is the slightest bit hesitant at times so I filled it with premium 93 octane this morning (seems to have fixed the problem). Even though the premium costs more per gallon, it is cheaper for me to run on it....
Regular 87@ $3.93 = 358 miles per fill-up (19.9mpg) = $.20 per mile cost
Premium 93 @ $4.23 = 441 miles per fill-up (24.5mpg) = $.17 per mile cost
I have a 62 mile round trip commute so that saves $9.30 each week ($37.20 each month) assuming I only drive to work and back! That's almost 4 platinum cigar kits! :biggrin:
