Road trip in the LS Sat. morning.

Alright, I havent taken this car on a road trip since the day I bought it in Denver back in August 07'. This time I will be traveling through Denver on my way to Colorado Springs (about 440-450 miles). Now I have been running premium since day 1 with this car. I was just wondering if, just for this trip, can I run regular 85 or mid-grade 88?

I have heard 91 is the lowest to go on these motors. In GA I had a friend with a GS4 run 87 octane so my guess is you will be fine.

I wouldn't recommend going to lower octane gasoline in warmer temperatures or higher altitudes.
