Always use 93 but, will not purchase at an "Off Brand" station, e.g., Race Tack, Speed Way, Daves Local Stop and Rob, etc.

Never had problems. But if premium was 93 like it used to be here, that's what I'd use.

If you can't afford the gas........You can't afford the car.
The car deserves the best you can put in it

92 Octane which is the highest here.
Arco has the lowest price of Premium Unleaded. I use Chevron

Costco uses different brands on a daily basis. Arco is priced close to the Costco price.

93. No 91 around here - and that is a good thing! Mine is tuned for 93 octane.

Simple solution: Go when the lines are short or nonexistent. I.E. Early morning, late evening. Works for me.
