Default Which Gas 87-89-91-93?

What type of Gas do you put on your S2k...just wondering...'cause of the prices going up....will 89 suffice? or what do you guys recommend, any additive to the gas. Just put the best one..it doesn't make a difference which one you put...Help me and everyone hear from those ones that knows.!!!

92 all the way, sometimes mixed with 100.

I only put 93. After what you spent for and on the car, what you save in buying cheap gas is trivial.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to understand...cause some friends told me that nowadays the gas is not as bad as it used to be...even some people from the honda will tell you that you don't need to put premiun on your honda...so I'm just trying to c what is everyone putting on their cars.
What would 'cause on our vehicles if you put a lower gas than a higher one?
What should I be aware of...thanks for your posts

I like to use 87 octane from Mom N Pop gas stations. It helps increase my compression ratio.

With knock sensors if you don't push the car, you could get away with 87 octane, but your car will always be retarded.

IMO the driver will also be retarded if he or she uses less than 91 (in CA) or 92 octane other places.
