I wouldn't worry about running the N* on regular for a couple of tanks, you may get some knocking/pinging. just take it a little easy. What is the octane for regular gas up there?
Salmon war? Look it up because it's gonna be a bad one.

I got free gas .....sort of
So I pull into a Shell station just before midnight and they are completely dry with 87 and 89 Octane but they have 91, just what I need anyway. Surprise, the sign says enjoy Shell V-Performance Gold at the price of Regular Fuel. Whippie, I saved 12 cents a litre!!! Still paid 97.8 cents. But lets get a reality check here, the oil companies gave me something!!!!! 
I'm not sure. we get screwed so often..............should I be happy? [&:]

RE: We are running out of gas
Got more free gas, sort of, same as before. No regular so Premium goes out at regular price 99.9 cents per litre. I put in a third ofa tank into the Suburban, it was getting embarrassing with the line ups of tiny Echo's and Civics waiting their turn and giving me the evil eye, $60 for 1/3 of a tank.

RE: We are running out of gas
Suburban takes 170 litres = $170.00 at least at these prices.
Deville takes 70 litres = $80.00 at least at these prices.
Wife drives GMC so she can usually go about two weeks between fill ups. Once got over 1,100 km from a tank full on a cross country trip. Deville used about $50 a week.

RE: We are running out of gas
lets see.
my 4x4, i filled it yesterday, $90 for about 30 gallons
and
the four 5-gal military cans at the back, for another
20 gallons at around $60 .. then i'll be set to cruise
down the sandy beach in Easter.
wait ..
it also needs a set of BFG KO's for maybe $600
and
i think i'll have $4 for the IN-N-OUT lunch ...
maybe ...
BTW, i am never embarrased to fill up among the jelly beaners.
they can only wish they could carry what i carry in my 4x4,
they can only wish they could go where my 4x4 can go,
they can only wish they could jump the center highway divider when traffic is halted,
they can only wish they could hop on top of the ice and snow and keep on trucking,
they can only wish they could get out of a boxed-in parking spot (never, never, box-in a 4x4),
they can only wish they were driving the 4x4 when they crash..
nope, no embarrasment at all ...
my 4x4 is KING ! ! !

RE: We are running out of gas
I was driving home from the office today looking for some gas. Past 6 stations all dry then a little hole in the wall, wasn't sure it was open but I drove up. It was called St. Clair Filling Station. I went inside and asked the gentlemen who delivers his gas. Shell he said. Do you have lots? Probably run out tomorrow he said. I took Stealth's advice, I went out and squeezed every drop I could into the Deville. It was $1.148 per litre. No free gas today, but I got a full load.
