I use mid-grade (89 octane) unleaded. Around here it is the same price or cheaper that regular, because in the midwest they push ethanol (the corn blend). As far as people saying ethanol is bad for cars, well you were right. I can't remember where (I want to say Car and Driver, but I might be wrong), did a huge article about it. When they first started making ethanol blended gasoline, it caused vapor lock and had an adverse effect on the quality of your intakes and such. They refined their processes now where ethanol burns cleanly and effeciently without causing damage to your engine.

P.S. That Shell V-Power crap that they sell as their premium grade now, sucks.
