SUVs
I spent $33 to fill up my S today. It took me less than $20 when I bought it 4 months ago.
$3.29 for 91

Yes. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand octane and internal combustion engines. Higher octane does nothing if you aren't running a compression that requires it. Do some research online (and not just other forums) if you want to learn the specifics.
P.S. - $9 gets me about 180 miles

No, the only difference between high octane and standard is
-Resistance to detonation.
-Some stations put a different additive package (detergents) in premium.
High octane will not burn hotter, burn faster, or burn with more energy. It will resist detonation better, is all. If your bike doesn't ping or knock on 87, 93 is wasted money. If you're really worried about the detergents, get a bottle of Red Line fuel treatment ($4 for 10 car treatments/20 bike treatments) and know what you're putting in there instead of guessing that the premium has better additives.
My SV ('01) was labeled as 87 AKI needed, and ran like a champ on 87. Remember that euro octane is often given in RON or MON, instead of AKI, which is the US standard (AKI = (RON+MON)/2).
(Note that the no-ping rule does not apply to modern cars with knock sensors that retard timing. For those, just put in what the manual says - which, IMO, is good advice for any vehicle. They didn't pull those numbers out of their asses. If you haven't done a mod that changes compression, your octane need shouldn't be changing, either.)
