Who buys mid grade gas?

Seems like youll either be poor and buy 87 or pay the extra money for 93.
89 makes no sense to me.

I think it shows that I can afford higher priced gas but still have practical money management skills.

89 is for suckers. I bet 87 and 89 are from the same tank.

I don't think buying 87 has to do with being poor. Most cars don't need premium. But I don't see the point in 89
I buy 93 because my car says to so I don't even know how much gas is right now because they don't advertise it

We don't get 89 out here. Only 88.

Its a scam. Like extra cheese.

Some engines don't need 93, but knock around with 87. 89/91 works in those engines.

I buy 89 for my boat. That's what the manual suggest as a minimum.
Yamaha 250 SHO 4-stroke.

You would actually get 90 for the same price as 89 (usually) if you did half a tank of 87, and half a tank of 93. Or you could save money by doing 2/3 87, 1/3 93, to make your own 89.

I run 89 bc my truck's owner's manual says 89 is recommended.

my maid only puts premium in my car.

When oil prices and then gas prices start to climb again this summer I'm going to drink everyone's tears and then use the extra money in my bank account to buy premium gas.
Posted on 1/17/15 at 8:53 pm to Cosmo
The only cars that require premium grades of fuel are older cars and high performance cars. The high end, high performance cars take much higher than 93- I think it's something like 98 and better.

It's mid-tier.
So obviously, people who start tier threads.

It all depends on the compression ratio in your cylinders.
Posted on 1/17/15 at 9:18 pm to Cosmo
Octane has more to do with engine compression ratios. If that confuses you, you should buy 87.
Posted on 1/17/15 at 9:18 pm to Cosmo
People who buy premium for their accords or tahoes are idiots. Cars that say 89 octane really mean it, they are lower compression engines which will actually lose power with premium gas due to its lower energy potential. A higher octane is not better gas, its just a resistance to ignition. Higher compression motors require higher octanes to prevent pre-detonation caused by the higher compression.
tl;dr If you buy premium gas and your car doesn't need it, you are not an OT baller, you are just dumb.

My grandpa had a car that only took 89 octane. The car was from the 80's.
I would only buy a car that uses 87 even if I loaded beyond belief.
