Default What Octane are you running

Just out of currosity, What fuel are you running in your bike. I have an 01 F4i and have been using 93 octane which seems to be running good. I dont have the owners manual so if someone with an 01 could tell me if im not supposed to be running 93 please post it

i run 93 if i can get it 91 if i cant..

my owners manual for my bike says to only run 91 octane or higher, and that running anything less could cause a knock.

87, the bike is made to run on 87 pump octain, running anything higher is a waste of money and you are loosing power, not gaining it.
