fuel?

Hello,

Trying to get a guage of the octane level fuel you all use. I know the manual states 91 but does anyone consistently use 93 or higher? If so, notice any difference? Thanks!

91 from Mobil, Phillips 66, or Shell is all there is around here for me.

No more car
Bronx, NY and have never put anything other than 93 in my car. I am sure it runs the same as if I used 91 but I just don't attempt it because I have the option of 93 at 99% of the stations I go to. I used Shell, Hess or Sunoco only unless I'm on a road trip.

That's probably the case in SoCal. In the rest of the country, there are lots of other off-brands.

So much fuel is sourced from so many different refiners that it really does not matter where it is bought.

I have been buying from USA Stations (Tesoro) and ARCO for years with no problems whatsoever.
