how often do you fill up and with what gas? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I only use Shell 91 octane (highest octane here in Denver) and I never let it go beyond 1/4 of a tank. Sunday when I filled up it was $2.98 a gallon.

Dentyneice · 03-22-2010, 07:10 PM

Full up on 93 octane every 5 days, 6 if I drive the bare minimum when I hit a little less than a 1/4 tank left

streetshark · 03-22-2010, 07:11 PM

I try not to let it get below 1/2 tank if I can help it. Mobil gas stations in my area have 93 octane gas so that's where I go. Both Shell stations have 91 as their highest octane here.

I use 93 Octane but don't really plan on driving it very much other than weekends

Jlpinc4y · 03-22-2010, 08:25 PM

I feel like im putting gas in my car constantly(Maybe because my car is a daily driver) i use 91octane from valero and thats all i have used since i first got my car

No problems so far!

Why put 91 in a 2LT? Won't it run just fine on 87? Please don't flame me, I just wondered why you would.

When required with Sunoco 93...been there 3 times so far

khabboub · 03-22-2010, 08:52 PM

once a week with 89 octane. and i drive 70 miles on weekdays, and around 10 on weekends.

I've been waiting for this thread, let me start by saying I only drive my car on weekends and put nothing other than Shell 93 octane in it. I have had to fill it up, every single time I've driven my car since August. It has a lot to do with my love for flooring it, but I thought I was the only one getting horrible milage.

SlingShot · 03-22-2010, 09:05 PM

The SS I fill about every 5 days, the LT I fill about every 2 weeks ... 93 in the SS and 91 in the LT ...

Scrappy Doo · 03-22-2010, 11:40 PM

whenever it gets empty.

I would suggest using Sunoco 93 - the higher the octane the better performance you will see.

That gas might go bad ! I fill it up everytime I drive it. Stopping at gas stations is fun !

Scott@Bjorn3D · 03-23-2010, 05:36 AM

Daily driver, fill her up every 6-8 days. 93 Octane from the same station. Camaro fest might make me use a different station on the trip. OH NOOO

myold88 · 03-23-2010, 06:57 AM

Never anything but Mobil 93 octane since new. I never let it get below 1/4 of a tank. Fun, Fun, Fun use only. Only 2500 miles since 8/21/09.
