Our only choices here are 87, 89, & 93 octanes. I have filled it the first 3 times with 93, but what about 89? Would you use it?

Definitely not. The car is tuned for 91 octane - any lower, and you better be pretty soft on the throttle, and never take it to "oh ****" RPM's. Otherwise, knocking is almost inevitable.

yeah 89 is a for sure no-go especially since most companies stoop to a mid tier gas that is almost always blended, for everything except premium(some stations screw that up too as i said)

Edit: oh and bobo we can get 110 oxy unleaded here

I'll stick with my JP-5. You know what JP-5 is used in, right? Its exclusive! "High" rollers, only!

yeah yeah you use your aviation grades the rest of use will stick to our 93, painthinner, and race gas

110+tolulene = 130octane of pure FTMFW
