U shouldnt have to run the highest grade(87,89,91) and u could put the lowest and still proberly be alright.Just mix it time to time.Sometime put the lowest and then the other times put one of the other grades in it.U will be fine if u dont put the highest grade in it.

When u get it tuned then your going to have to decide what octane u what.The more timming u run the higher the octane u will have to use

Yea, I was thinking about that, probably something like a 3 different tune chip. One economy(89,87 if possible) and then preminum tunes
