So far 87 octane in my SO I6.

 

[RedFred]

I usually run 93 octane.

 

[Grimlakin]

I usually run 93 octane.

have you noted any actual difference between the two, or is it a peace of mind/seat of pants reasoning?

 

[Biga]

I was running exclusively 93 but the last two tanks I tried 89 and I have not noticed a difference.

I have never put 87 octane in it, so I can't speak on the difference. And in my area, my choices are 87, 89, and 93. So I run 93 most of the time and have used 89 a couple times. I have had other cars and trucks that asked for premium fuel, and I swear I can feel a difference when I use 87. It's not noticeable under normal driving conditions but I believe the difference can be felt at higher rpm's at full throttle. I would assume the hurricane is similar. If you are not one to stomp on the gas peddle that often, you will probably never notice a difference in octane.

Agree -- all my previous turbo BMWs I could feel a noticeable difference in octane usage. I got my HO hurricane to stomp it frequently!
