A question gasoline

Do you always use supreme or premium gas (93 octane)? Like does it have any real benefit for everyday drivers.

If you can't afford the high octane gas, you can't afford this car.

The LE5's benefit from premium as well - 87 won't kill them but you will loose some power / mileage.
