You can use the cheap stuff but will have more gunk build-up on your valves, etc and risk the occasional detonation. If you drive your car hard I strongly recommend using 91 or higher. It's a high compression engine and should be fed the good stuff.

You're only saving a few dollars at the most. Why risk build up and future problems? Just use Premium.

I wish we had 93 around here. Only crap 91 in these parts. A few places sell 100 for ~$6/gallon.

There is a place on the penninsula that sells higher than 91 acutally. I saw it on a similar thread a while ago.

Yeah you can get 100 at the pump at 2 places not too far from here. You can get VP up to 109 unleaded over at UMS Tuning.

I would trade the 100 for 93 anyday. I would use 93 all the time, 100 is too much $$$.
