Message	Theoretically higher octane gas can yield better gas mileage and (obviously) more power. Plus it helps keep your engine clean and happy. And I know its been said to you before, but if money is tight and you dont want to spend money on it to keep it in top health, you probably shouldnt own a Z. I dont have a lot of money as a college student but I still find ways to make sure my Z gets the attention (and gas) that it needs and deserves. Later Josh
