Just wondering if we really need to run it.

I do, but it’s not a “requirement”Just wondering if we really need to run it.
thought so. Thank youI do, but it’s not a “requirement”
Is it however recommended in the user manual.
Many run regular without issues.
Where is the 93 recommendation in the owner's? I've been debating running it as I've read maybe a few HP increase but didn't see anything in the owners manual about it being recommended.I do, but it’s not a “requirement”

It isn’t.Where is the 93 recommendation in the owner's? I've been debating running it as I've read maybe a few HP increase but didn't see anything in the owners manual about it being recommended.
High 20’s .....I wish I could get 20 on the highwayI use 90 octane, non ethanol, in the hot summer months.
89 octane, 5% ethanol, in cooler weather. I do notice a slight difference in performance, fuel economy is still mid to high 20s, as the computer system adjusts.
The price difference between 89 octane, non ethanol 90 is
30 cents. 60 cents , 87 to 90.... I don't care for the " feel" of 87 octane, 89 is good. 90 is....fun.
Octane has nothing to do with power.If you want your engine to perform at its absolute best, use 91 or higher. It may not be a huge difference but the chances of the engine performing less efficiently and with less power rises when you use lower octane fuel.
I use 93 (91 isn’t really near me).
that might be worth looking into. Thank you guys.Get a gas discount card at whatever regional gas chain in your area. You will get higher discounts on the premium gas as regular is already pretty competitive.
In my area the local Wawa with discount gets me 93 for not a lot more than 87 so it's worth it.
