Default LS Octane ??

Hey, I just got a del sol with a 95' b18b1 LS in it. I have no manual for either and I was wondering what octane of gas I should run in it. I live in a city where the lowest is 86-87 and the Premium is 91. Thanks

good deal, thanks. I had been running 91 based on what my friends with GSR's were saying. I just kinda questioned with the lower compression & all. Also, could running the 91 for a while (umm.... couple months) have damaged the motor?

True that.

Use regular 87. No need for premium or super.
