93 the only way to go with a mustang if you look in owners manual it will tell you what to run your car on notlike you have it but alwaysrun 93 for best MPG and driveablity. Than you could advance your timming and not worry about detonation<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">
you should run the octane that the manual says to run if the fuel/heads/ignition is stock. higher octane fuel burns slower but more complete than lower, but if your car isnt set up for higher octane it is useless and will hurt performance/mpg. if you are running a differant than stock octane make sure you readjust your timing for it.
