Thats 91 right ? I put Sunoco 93 and now my car is idling too high and my service engine soon light came on. I had a half a tank when this problems started so I just went to the gas station and filled it up with 91 hopefully everything will go back to normal

I've run 93 in my car since I bought it(~5,000 miles of driving), and haven't noticed any problems. In my area, 87,89, and 93 are the common choices.
Buy a code reader or take the car to a parts store(Autozone, O'Reillys, Advance Auto, etc...) and have the codes pulled.

It will likely pay for itself several times over, especially if you have multiple vehicles with OBD2.

I used regular 87 octane on the 171796 miles on my previous 06 G35 6 speed manual until I traded it in for my present 2012 G37S that now has 75k miles.
It has never seen a drop of premium.
Round trips from NJ to Florida produce these results
Short trips while in Florida show up clearly with much lower MPG
Recently got 27.83 MPG between NJ and Ashland, Va. a distance of 316 miles and it took 11.356.gallons to fill-up on regular 87 octane.

93. I guess 91 might be okay also. Sounds like you have other issues going on. Using regular will just make the car feel a little sluggish, not cause check engine lights

The only accurate test is highway driving for 300+ miles with no or minimal stops

It's more likely that something else is going on.
I've run 93 in my car since I bought it(~5,000 miles of driving), and haven't noticed any problems. In my area, 87,89, and 93 are the common choices.
