Obviously the gasoline recommendation for this engine is a bit unusual. Most premium vehicles like Acuras, BMWs, Audis, etc. stipulate 91 as the minimum. Mazda, of course allows for 87 but recommends 93 for optimal performance, which begs a couple questions for those who have first hand experience. Is there a noticeable difference in performance and/or gas mileage between 87 and 93? Does the engine run better on 93? If there is a perceptible difference between 87 and 93, what about 89? Is still worth purchasing the turbo if your intention is to run 87?
