Around these parts the difference in price between 87 octane and 93 octane is at least 30 cents a gallon. So a $1.50 savings per fill up and an increase in mpg is a no brainer to me. Since I refuel on average 3 times a week the savings are greater.

With those kinds of savings you can replace those spark plugs more often.

Look at it this way, the 93 octane I don't waste, is the more that's left for you guys to purchase. Sounds like a win-win for all concern.
