Default different octane tunes

Any one try a lower octane tune and like it better? i have been running a 93 octane and was curious if anyone likes the lower octane better, and what where the differences? or anyone actually go faster in the 1/4? or feel faster.

reason i ask i because i can only run the higher octane here in england.my choices for gas is 89 i think, 90, and 94 , so i run the 94 octane with the 93 tune.

I run a 93 tune with Sunoco 94.

WhenI run the 91 tune (with 91 fuel of course) I don't honestly notice much of a difference.

I had the car dyno'd running 91,thetuner simply stuck in a couple of extra degrees of advance for the 93 tune (over the 91). Not a huge difference.

I was running the 93 tune with 93 octane and went back to the 89 tune and I like the low end response of the 89 tune. I didn't notice any difference in the 89 tune with 93 octane vs. 89 octane fuel, though.

i prefer my 89 over my 92 tune. feels the same, gets the same gas mileage, costs less.

I Tried my 87 tune, and it feels like stock. I'm going back to my 93 tune on the next fill-up.
