New L Owner Needs Help!

Help!!!

I am going to pick up my brand new '03 L in the morning. What octane gas do I need to be running. Regular, Super, or Premium? I am trading in an '02 Z06, it took Super only. Thank you!

91 at a minimum is what is recommended, if you can get 92, 93 or 94 then even better. We have 93 here in New Hampshire, that is the highest rating here, at least in my area so that what I have been running.

Congratulations on getting a new Lightning, I just bought my 03 last Monday 2/2 your going to absolutely love it…

It should have a full tank when you pick it up. If not, tell them to fill it up.

That's true, my dealer gives out a coupon to use at a local station to fill it up and I will tell you I pumped every single drop I could get into the tank on that free coupon...

I travel with work all over Texas and sometimes the country. My home base is the Dallas area. Hell, Texas seems like it's own country.
