I run 89 with my programer set to the 87 econo tune, Works better than the 91 performance tune for 0-60 times for me. I'll run the 91 performance tune with 91 every once and a while but I only could see the performance increase from the 60+ range.

I run 87 with SC on 87 tune. No problems thusfar. I run 89 through on occassion. I see no significant change in performance.

I run 89 also. I was running 87 and just started 89 2 tanks ago. It does like the 89 a little better. I've noticed a slightly smoother idle. My manual says to use 89 also.
