Stay out of the boost and you should be fine. Don't make a habit of it though.

Just don't do it. Why be a cheap bastard and risk pinging?

its not worth it to save .20 a gallon. savings of a little over $2 for a full tank. just put the good stuff in

Def. not worth the risk...
Remember if it is a trip in the summer those 90-95* temps will be pulling that timing too

You paid around $30k for a car, are you THAT worried about saving a couple bucks on gas?
