I just put 93 in, They say it requires 91 or higher so you should be fine. Dont put 87 in

Shell V-Power is 91 in many locations. 91 is the highest octane available in my area, except for race gas @ $5.99/gal.

For the best performance you want to run the lowest octane you can that wont cause knock. More octane doesnt equal more power. The bad thing with fuel out west is it's oxygenated and that reduces power.

Re:
Mixing won't cause any problems. I wish we still had higher octane here. All we have at every gas station is 87, 89, and 91. And of course 100+ octane at special stations but it's too expensive for everyday use.
