87, 89, or 93 Octane?
What kind of gas do you guys use or recommend? Also, if you can, tell the gas station that you use too.

My timing is advanced and thats why I use 93 octane. If you have stock timing then you need to run 89. You will be wasting money if you run anything over 91.

I have 10.2:1 compression... I have to use at least 91, but I would pay the same for 92 and 93...so I usually go for 93 octane.

Just use whatever octane you need to keep it from pinging.

Stock uses 87 octane. Modified w/bumped timing, compression, &/or dynotune...93 octane or better. I ran 93 in my car when it was stock, & after a while I had very hard starts, & my idle was a bit rough. I went back to 87, & instantly my car was a gem again. Now that my car is..ehhm...not stock I can only run 93 or better. Detonation can be hazardouz to the wallet.
