Advise on gas

Hi guys

All the gas stations around where I live have 91 octane gas as the highest grade. This is what I have been using. Is this OK? I have heard of higher octane gas but I don't see it around here.

Thanks

I can ship you some 93 but it's going to cost you ;-)

You need to move to a place where 93 octane is sold.

Just kidding!

The car will run fine on 91 (R+M/2) thanks to knock sensors and the ECU pulling timing out. You'll lose a bit of power especially on a hot day but you'll need a stopwatch or a dyno to tell, your butt won't see any diffy.
