..just to follow up on triple 7...

the type of gas that has a specific gravity of 0.71, and therefore a weight of about 5.92 pounds per gallon, and releases approximately 19,000 BTU of energy per pound of fuel burned....

I use premium and have found that I consistently get 2-3 mpg more using Shell than with the "off-label" brands.
