Default RE: octane choice?

I use the highest octane available. Higher octane fuel has a slower and more even burn. Better for the engine both in terms of fuel efficiency as well as more even heat distribution in the heads

Always use either 93 or 94 Octane. Like monkeyman said, it's only another dollar to fill it if she is empty.
