i guess it's a good thing to put higher octane in, i just haven't really seen much of a difference. maybe now that i've had my car a while i'll try it agian and see if i can tell. i think it's just more for long term preserving of the engine. but i'm poor so 89 is enough for me!

i havent seen it change much, slight drop of a few pennies.

its not $2.21 for 93 octane (that is with 6 cents off on fri) or 2.27 normally. I have seen 93 as high as $2.37 around here.
gotta love NJ's low gas prices and full service

but yea i have always put 93 in my car. dont know why...

high octane means better MPG or i think your case it would be Better KMPG. i always use highest octane and sometimes a octane booster on top of that like 92 octane then i use a octane booster too.

Yeah, even though it's dropped a good amount, it's still very expensive. Around $2.40 here if I remember right.
