Guys is weird but, I have been running 91 octane instead of the 93 octane gas and the engine feels more powerful than with the 93octane.

I haven't check gas mpg but it feels better, no knocking. and is cheaper (yippy)

91 is the lowest octane required by the manual.... unfortunately no gas station by me sells 91. My choices are 87, 89, 93.

I've been running 89 for over 2000 miles now without any adverse effects. I've taken a good beating for it, but it's all good!

thats probaly in your head, lower octane does not make your car more powerful
