Do I need to use premium on road trips?
Ok, I don't have a turbo n yet, but VERY close, and I'll probably be doing a lot of traveling with it with the turbo on, if I'm not going to be boosting at all, stricly highway driving, is it fine to just use regular gaas...because it's sooo much cheaper? My set up is gonna be t25, d16, afc, 450cc, CCA FMIC, 10 psi, blah blah blah, let me know what you think. thanks

how are you running timing on the boosted setup?
I would assume that with the added turbo your car will most likely get higher mpg on the freeway so might break even for you to fill 'er up with premium.
My buddy threw a way overpriced supercharger on his d16y8 (I forget the name brand of the blower) and he does a ---- load of highway driving, he said he gained a few mpg

Get premium all the time. When your on the freeway it's too easy to boost. What about freeway on ramps? Your car will want to boost even if you give it a little throttle so it will be hard to stay out of it. Plus you never know when your going to run into a car you want to race.

actually I just calculated it. for a 1000 mile road trip, it's only about $5 extra dollars, that's not as bad as I though it would be.
1000/35mpg=28gal. 28 gal x $1.85 reg.=$51.80
28 gal x $2.02 prem=$56.56
1000/35mpg=28gal. 28 gal x $1.85 reg.=$51.80
28 gal x $2.02 prem=$56.56
