What type of fuel do you put in?

For me anyways, I find it very obvious when a car is running higher octane gas. I've run it ever since I was 18 in everything I've owned including a 71 c10, 87 accord, 95 dodge spirit, 97 240sx, and now my Z. I cringe every time I hear a car that's driving around pinging like crazy, but people are gonna do it. In a van or work truck or Kia, go for it. If you're driving a sports car or a turbo vehicle you should be running premium, or you're just asking for at least 10% less car.
I bet a Mustang GT uses 87 octane
