87 and 91 gas?

Use exactly what your owner's manual lists. Using a higher octane than your engine was designed to burn, will provide no benefit whatsoever. No more power, no better mileage, and in fact can provide poor starting, and in some cases, harm the engine. Besides the fact you are paying more for high octane fuel you do not need. Using a lower than required octane can cause less power and pinging. This can eventually do damage to your engine. It is a myth that a higher octane fuel provides any benefit to an engine not designed to use the higher octane.
