I’ll give it a try. I wonder if our premium gas isn’t being turned over lately due to this pandemic

Oh sorry I meant that around here it could be sitting and getting old and losing octane. I don’t think there is a big demand for our 94 in these times.

I would think the demand is as it good as it gets. Prices for high octane are insanely low, lately. Granted, driving in general is at an all time low but, I actually smile while I pump gas now.

Nobody has any clue about octane. Most people just want the cheapest shit they can get. Genera public does not give a shit about their cars. I bet money the premium is getting stale. I hope You’re right and I’m wrong.

I ONLY use premium in my Vette.....and midrange in the 6 cyl. Camaro...and since NEITHER gets driven during the winter season, I don't even use premium much when I do drive the Vette, as I still have the Camaro and Silverado to drive from time to time.

I run a bottle of octane boost along with 93. Whether it helps or not who knows but it's cheap enough.

You said it was cammed and tuned. How long have the spark plugs been in since then? The demand on the plugs increases with a cam.

When I cammed my '96 Vette with the LT4 engine, plug change was an annual event, probably overkill, but it was a daily driver.

It’s only been 11 months and about 4000 miles since camming

Only people that need to bother with premo are guys and gals like us, with performance vehicles. You just as right about it sitting around. I’m just saying that anybody that needs it, is buying it pretty steady at these prices.
