With the recent increase of gas prices I was just wondering have any of you dropped to mid-grade or regular in your Goats? Will this effect the LS2 engine in a bad way other than a slight loss in performance? :confused
:agreeXcommuter said:I only run Premium in my high compression (10.9) V8...
I moved from BP to Chevron Techron 93 at currently $3.00 per gallon.
My Goat is so fun to drive , I pay the price and enjoy the V8 , sure maybe more crusing at posted , but when the moment appears - hard to not enjoy 400/400.
It's not like I didn't know the mileage when I bought my GTO and that Premium was required and/or $4.00/gallon was looming. As my monthly gas bill increases , I adjust my other spending and the mods stay on paper instead of in the garage...

its true in atlantaXcommuter said:Kinda Wild , how prices go up 10 cents from morning to evening at the station I filled up this morning. I saw gas lines at the cheapest stations (3 pumps and 15 cars)... Named Brands ranged from 2.99 to 3.49 for Premium here in North Fla.
I also heard on the radio Premium running $6.00 a gallon in Georgia...![]()

Gas Hog???? I drive about 90 miles round trip between work and home. I'm getting 22 - 23 MPG cruising at 75MPH. Granted, my route has very few lights and no heavy traffic. But, I can't really get upset over 22 MPG from a car like this. If you are commuting in heavy traffic or city streets with lots of lights, I can see where mileage in the mid to high teens might be depressing.mrbst47 said:Everyone who purchased a GTO knew it was a gas hog. If you thought differently you fooled yourself. The simple answer is for everyone to relax and just budget your money better. And if you budget is soo tight that you cannot afford the car after a bump in the price, you shouldn't have purchased it. I do not mean to preach or anything, I am just saying that if you think ahead and plan for unforseen expenses and then budget some buffer room into your plans you will get by without a hitch. Good Luck everyone!
