I believe that if the gas is well refined, you shouldn't have a problem regardless of the octane rating. For example: On my SS-SC, I put a full tank of Petro-Canada Octane 91 and the only thing I have noticed is loss in milage (NO power gain). When I put Petro-Canada Octane 89, I do NOT notice power loss, and my milage is better than when I put 91! Studies have shown that, in Canada, Petro-Canada has the most refined gas, even at regular. 89 for me! Once I start modding, I'll be putting 91 or 94 since there's more aftermarket horsepower!!

Sunoco's usually have 91 Octane. I'm almost always at a Mobile or Exxon so i get stuck with 93 at that point.

It is all about the 100 octane. 3 gallons of 91 octane + 2 gallons of Toluene + capful of tranny fluid = Cheap race gas
