Unless your car is tuned for higher 91 should be all you need...

I have a 93 tune from Bama tuning with SCT, and can only buy 91 octane around here. I didn't know this until after the tuner was purchased, I don't run the giggle juice but it runs great on the 93 tune, no detonation at all.

If you absolutely have to use some, the Torco Mach Accelerator is pretty good stuff.
