I put 87 in mine. With gas prices being as absurd as they are there's no way in hell I'm buying 93.

Congrats...you saved $5.00!! Now your engine can be potentially be F&&ked up and you can then spend $500 to fix it. Hope that $5.00 was worth it.

BTW commenting on the use of 87 octane... I use 93 and i still have to octane boost from the autoparts store to keep it from ticking....

I'm sure it'll be just fine. I put 87 in my LS1 Trans Am for three years and it ran like a beast.

Seriously...it's not a Ferrari. It will run fine on regular.
