Default anyone use 93 octane?
Does anyone notice any difference in performance??? Is it bad for the motor since 91 is recommended since the ecu isn't programmed for it? thanks guys

I always used 93 octane. It shouldnt be bad for the motor it will just make it run richer I beleave it should be good for it. Run richer with no power change

I've been using 92 and seem to get better gas mileage than 91. Waiting for gas pricing to drop before I try the 94.

In Canada the common is 89, 91, and 93. Cheveron stations here carry 92. It says to use a minimum of 91 in the manual.
