I'd run as high as you can, especially if you are running decently high boost!! I wouldn't run any lower than 92.

I have one thing to say. If you are concerned about the cost of gas. THEN DO NOT GO TURBO!!!

That a RON rating right mate? its like 96 here and we still cant get it, plus your gas has a much higher anti knock index.
I lived in Chicago and you could get 113 at the gas city in Schaumburg like 3.50 a gallon

Re: GAS.. which grade to use w/ turbo.. (servion)
93-94
so true! if you are worried about spending on gas you should have never gone FI.
its all about higher octane gas is better to avoid detination and you should do that at any cost.
anyway what 80 cents per tank?
"dont cry over spilled milk" wait that has nothing to do with is...oh ya STOP BEING SO CHEAP!!!! ya thats it! hehe

You can use whatever grade you want, depending on how fast you want to go.

Yeah, I would never advise someone to use 87 octane gas or even 89 when boosting any amount. If you have to go with 91 it is ok, but you will want to be more cautious about pinging.
