well if u read ur manual it will say to use gas with an octane rating of 91 or more.. but they dont make 91 around here so i have always put the 93 in, except once when i picked up the wrong lever and filled it up with 89..

from what ive read on this site, we would benefit from a 93. whereas some cars wouldnt. but just go by what the manual says, no lower.
ive gone to 89 twice (in 5 dollar doses) in the last half year or more.

yeah prices are getting suckier by the minute.
i'm lucky to still be able to get 1.59 for 93 octane. but other places are at about 1.80

You can get away with using 89 octane in the winter. During summer time, you better off fill it up with 93 octane. To get 91 octane, you could mix 50% 89 octane and 50% 93 octane I tried that a few times and it was just PITA
