Curious, I have always used 93 octane in my 2002 S281 N/A. I think that you can use 91 octane (correct me if i'm wrong). Now that gas is a freaking rip off and the 93 octane is 20 cents a gallon more, i wouldnt mind using 91. Has anybody been running 91 octane with no problems?

In California 91 octane is the highest we can get out of the pump. Your Saleen Mustang is tuned to run on as low as 91. Remember, Saleen is here in Ca.
Oh yea, your S7 will run just fine on 91 also.

Where are you getting your gas from? My S7 runs like poop without a bottle of octane booster.

Mine runs on garbage since I had the Mr. Fusion installed. Man that flux capacitor needs a lot of juice. It really has saved me a fortune at the pump. But for some reason I can't get the S7 past 88 miles an hour without weird ***** happening.

:OT: did u ever get caught in the rain in ur E? theres a thread in 4.6 talk that a guy got caught in the rain and the E hood cost him hundreds in water damage. i got caught in the rain a few times...might have to think twice about the hood if this is true

Yeah, lots of times. My car is a daily driver and seen all kinds of weather, well except snow. I got in a really bad thunderstorm when I was driving the car home from Indiana. Rained like hell but I didn't have any problems. The location of the vents in the hood doesn't put water anywhere it wouldn't get thru the grill/radiator, maybe it does.

does yours have a liner underneath? im just tryin to figure out how this guy got water damage...but the vents go right thru right? so even with a liner the holes would still be cut out of it...i dunno

No, no liner under the hood, and all 8 slots do go straight thru. I think he had an exposed air filter and he sucked water into the intake, but he doesn't give much of a description of the problem.
