About twice a year the gas question comes up. So for new members I'll just restate what I've done with about 45 years of fill-ups. 1. Never use less than the called-for octane. 2. Try to fill the tank when the gauge hits the 1/4 full level. Don't want the car sitting in humidity risking accumulating moisture in the tank (This could be a myth, however). 3. Use any brand of gas you want. I buy the cheapest hi-octane I can find, from a high volume station & mix brands often. Recently Citgo built a station 2 minutes from where I work. 93 octane is a nickle cheaper than Costco had it. On trips I'll buy Sheetz, Wawa, or whatever. I've never had a carburetor or fuel injection problem in any a dozen cars I've had. With the SVX I've run two cans of Chevron Pro-Gard injector cleaner through it in a year & a half just for the halibut, & because Aredub says it's OK.
Ron.
