Well I use "top tier" gas all the time. I always use Shell gas, because its
a name I trust, unlike Hess or other no name brands that you just don't
know. So maybe I'll do the Chevron Techron every 9000 miles or so. I suppose
I could put the premium in there some time to see if it makes a difference.
Its a family car with a nearly high performance engine, so I don't know...
