You should run a minimum of 91. I run 93. They are not designed to run on 89.

This topic has been beaten to death. Stick with 93, minimum 91.

In Cali we only have 91 and 100 at the pump.

91 - $3.27 gal

100 - $6.95 gal

I ALWAYS use 93 and nothing less. Our vehicles crave 91 or better.

In your case just use the 91, sorry you don't have the 93. From what I've heard in Cali they use better additive in gasoline than our gas in the southern states( I may be wrong).
