I read in a consumer report experiment that you're supposed to put in what your car's manual says to put in. They said if your car is meant for 87 and you put in 93 or whatever else, it doesn't do anything and might hurt the engine because it wasnt designed to handle the higher octane. I don't know whether that's true or not, but I put in 87 cause its the cheapest.
