Ok... lets put it this way
Your car is designed for 87. It rund perfectly fine on 87. Its power is designed for 87. Its ECU curve is designed around 87.
Now you put in a gas that doesn't detonate as easily. You might be hurting performance because it dosn't have the compresstion to take advantage of the harder to ignite fuel.
Point 2, your using the second worse gasoline. Why not just use Barely Petroleum (BP/Amaco=arco).
If your going to use the cheep places, remember to Techron your system on occasion. I know a Chemical engineer at Chevron. He'll Techron on a long trip, then redo it on the short trip around town where he went, then once more on the trip home. Keeps the engine, and everything else clean.
Weird thing is, premium in california is 91. Don't need the extra octane or two really for premium
