juikster 04-13-2006 10:38 PM

exellent question...........

ndtechie09 04-13-2006 10:48 PM

i've tried all 3, i use regular now (87) i dont notice a difference between 87,89 and 93

NgoRX8 04-13-2006 10:49 PM

premium all the time. which is 91 here.

Raptor2k 04-13-2006 11:11 PM

lol it's all preference lol

but Mazda recommends 91+ lol

I use 93 lol cuz it pwns lol

with 87 u risk detonation lol but it could also help gas mileage too lol

tjbourgoyne 04-13-2006 11:29 PM

sometimes I really do think the experts are the so called "experts" and they say 91.

FABRO 04-14-2006 02:50 AM

89 and im comfortable with that. Experts say 91 is "recommended" not "required". I just use 89 for my daily drives, but for spirited drives I use 92 which is what we have here in WA.

Renesis_8 04-14-2006 02:54 AM

Just try all, see which is best for your car, judging from older threads you really cant draw a conclusion, some say 87, 89, 91, 93, 94, race gas......... and so on, each engine seem to be different =d

^Thought I was the only one.

I use 93 here. I trieda tank of 87 and 89, and she just didnt run well. Ruff idle. Id never go back.

JRichter 04-14-2006 08:34 AM

93 V-Power, some local stations try to sell 91 for the same price as 93, but I want that last 2 octane dammit. That's at least a half of hp. I believe were up to $2.98 today.

I use 93 Octane all the time.... Even though gas prices are rising, just to be on the safe side I follow what the book says.... In some cases they have seen engine knocking and performance loss.... who knows, i'm just being safe! But like everyone said just try everything

I assume you are not trying to be sarcastic here, I'm living in petrol paradise, it only cost $US 0.4 for a litre of 97 RON.

Raptor2k 04-14-2006 10:32 PM

What burns faster, 93 or 87? My engine rattle is still there, I'm thinking about experimenting with 87 for a while to see if the pinging goes away at all.

yiksing 04-15-2006 12:17 AM

87 burns faster, if you ping at 93 something is wrong

Yo Rap, where do u get ur 93?
Its only 91 around here, so I buy Octane Boosters to grade it up.

Indeed, and nobody can explain why.

Gas stations here give 87, 89 and 93.

MazdaRX8er 04-15-2006 12:22 AM

in Cali, it 87, 89, 91 only! sad thing eh? in Japan I hear they can get 98 - 96 at any station.

Raptor2k 04-15-2006 12:24 AM

Don't they put extra ethanol or something too? Seems to make gas mileage worse for rx8s in cali

MazdaRX8er 04-15-2006 12:29 AM

True, i'm barely getting 180 with DSC on. with DSC off 240 on full tank.
