Default Tunes for 89 Octane?

A tune is definitely in my future, but I've only read about 87, 91 or 93 Octane tunes. In my area, SouthWest Ohio, only 87-89-93 octanes are available.

Can you get a tune for 89 octane?

Would it be much better than one for 87 octane?

You should be able to get the tune for any octane.

Use 91 or 93 for the best performance gains and best milage.

Yes. Higher octane gives you better performance and better mpg.

If Brenspeed is still working on your order, tell them which octanes you have available in your areas, and they might be able to pre-program 3 corresponding tunes on your SCT-II.
