I paid $3.71 today for premium at Wal-Mart.  My car had 1/2 tank and it still held $43.00.   :rolleyes:

Why would you get premium?  Big waste of money..

Gas prices in my area are around $3.65... So they've spiked, tremendously.

Hate Bush.  Revenge soon.

Is it true that Obama or Clinton would lower the prices?

Ultimately, they are going to steer us away from oil.

Clinton wants to have a gas tax free holiday...but Obama is against it, because it isn't going to help the struggling economy that much, if you don't have the tax, or something like that.

Because on the instrument panel and fuel tank area it says "premium unleaded fuel only".  My dads brother drives a tanker and he says its all the same, but I am not chancing it.  I know of others with cars like mine that tried regular and ruined the cars fuel system, while others had no problems.   :whistling:

That's certainly odd. Not one of those cars you listed should require premium fuel.  :blink:

My 1991 Lexus LS400 requires premium....  it has a V8.  I do not think the smaller Lexus that year (ES250) required premium, since it had the Camry engine).
As you can see on the photo of this LS400 instrument panel- it says "premium unleaded fuel only" above the fuel gauge..
 

....and now that you mentioned it, under the hood either my 72' Caprice and/or 73' Grand Ville, it says either 91 or 93 octane recommended, but I always run 87 in them.  I guess its where they have the HP V8s in them.  I will have to look into this.  I had totally forgot about that!   :wacko: :) 
Whats strange is that at least on the 72' it says it will run on "low lead" or "no lead" gas.  :)
