I've been told repeatedly that you should stay with 87 octane or 89 at the highest. 93 doesn't do any good for the neon.

89 should be fine. High octane fuel is what they use for high compression engines, which yours is probably not, unless it's heavily modified.

I've been told to stay with 87 on the regular Neons. Anything higher would be too rich. I'm not sure about the RTs but I would think they would be the same.

On an R/T you should run Premium. On a base Neon you should run 87.

I thought you only use premium on turbos and supercharged rides though or v8s like stangs and rides like that.
