What type of gas are you using?
#2
i use regular gas not the high octane ones ? most the time i go to randalls or walmart but i prefer randalls 3cents off every time i use my card. an its still cheap $1.94 last time i checked unless prices went up.

These engines are designed to run on 87 octane. You can use a higher level, but you probably will not see any benefits unless you have a highly modified engine. For the majority of us, we are better off saving our money and buying the cheap stuff.

sorry soldier
the quality of fuel is more important than the octane rating
just because it has less of a tendency to detonate does not mean it sill leave anything cleaner
go to a good fuel station
high volume is good
name brand is good
Quik-E Mart fuel is bad, no matter the octane rating
Texaco\Chevron is probably the cleanest, because they invented the cleaning agent ALL fuel companies add
no matter what they call it, it is Techroline

Quality in fuel comes from the manufacturer, not the octane rating. Our cars run better, more effieciently on low 87 octane fuel than on higher octane rating.
You can buy higher octane race gas at some stores, but it is very expensive and it will kill your catalytic converters... So I'd only suggest using it on a boosted motor where you need higher octane, and you're not running cats.
I did run a blend of 105 and 91 octane for a race once because it was so damned hot outside, it ran good with no pinging issues, but it smelled horrible. Probably not a good idea for every day situations. One tank of it won't kill your cats, but mulitple tanks of 100+ octane fuel will set off chemical reactions in your catalytic converters that will destroy their ability to burn the remaining fuel in your exhaust.
