85 to 89 Octane Update
 

to follow up my last post, I refilled my 2001 Grand with 89 octane gas
rather than the cheapest gas of 85....there was a good differance in the
mountain pass lanes, I had more power to keep up with the speed limit and
even passed others on Interstate 70....maybe a bad tank of 85 but still I
will go with the 89 till I get down out of the 8 to 10,000 ft range of
highways....

I did the usual pretrip maintence, new airfilter, oil change , new tires &
alignment and tune up....

thanks to all for your input, even Bill... : )

I would suggest that you stay with 89 or better down in the low lands
too.

You may notice an increase in mileage, too. Probably enough to nullify
the price difference.

I always run the highest octane I can get. Starts better, runs better,
better fuel mileage, cleaner intake and injectors over the long haul, and
only about $6 to $8 dollars more per tankfull. Better than any additive I
can buy.

Just my .02
