The higher octane protects the motor from knocking. You can run a lower octane, but your car will trip out when you get on the gas pedal.
A lot of states other than CA have 93 instead of 91. You can find 100 at some locations throughout the SF Bay Area, some in San Jose.

most of my driving is on trnpk @ 70 mph...I have had the initial timing boosted by +2 degrees....I have run 89, 91. 92, 93 all on measured tests of exactly 220 miles, (same trip) I have found that my car runs just great on ANY of the above.. it never knocks or pings and always get 27.2 mpg. no matter what.... the computer know best and it will retard if necessary..the differnce in price here in So central Pa. is.....3.75 reg 87, 3.87 mid grade 89 and 4.09 for 92 which is avail at my loc.
so cost for fill up with 89 octane (20) would be 77.40 or for the 92 would be 81.80 its YOUR CHOICE...my car does not care and runs like new always. I would NOT run 87 at any time.
