I have about 95k on my car now. Since I got the car (75k), only once, I had put 87. In IL, I can only get 87, 89 and 93. I have talked to the dealer and he recommended I combine 89+93 to get 91 -- nice logic (89+93)/2 = 91. But I have always dumped in no lower than 92. Even at 92, I can see my gas mileage decrease -- who is counting anyway
at 92, full tank till the light comes on, I get around 300 miles
at 93, full tank till the light comes on, I get around 350.
There is the difference and for that extra buck or so you pay at the next gas station, it's well worth that extra 50 miles plus knowing that you are putting better gas. Once in a blue moon, I put in the NOS octane booster -- just to see the performance increase for a bit.
