I usually do 87, the tag on the frame says use 91 but Im at about 5280ft high but since there is less oxygen here a higher octane is kinda pointless....


Right? Or does proper jetting fix all this?

91-93 non-ethanol enriched if I can find it.

Last summer I was able to fill up from "oh **** where is that reserve switch again?" for about $10. It would last a couple hundred miles. Hell, if it costs $20 to fill up and get the same mileage I would be fine with that.

lowest grade for me cause i'm cheap. i faintly remember the manual for my 97 stating that the lowest is recommended (87 or 89, whichever)

any of you guys actually notice any difference in performance or mileage with the higher?
