Default What Octane raiting do You use?

Im just a little curious what octane everyone uses on here, I know the book calls for 87. Has anyone had problems running a higher octane?

I've only filled up my tank once so far but I put in 91. I'm completely stock so 93 is overkill and 91 probably isn't even needed. At the time I didn't know exactly what it DID want, and I hadn't read some of the octane debates on here.

I've not been here long but I have a feeling you may hear it for starting a new thread on this.

I run 93, my car is tuned for it. It will detonate if i run anything lower.

87 most of the time....will throw in a tank of 93 every 4 or 5 fills to help keep injectors, etc nice and clean. I have found my car doesn't run as good with the 93....seems to run hot.
