Just a quick question to all you helpful members. How crucial is it to run the 91 octane fuel in a 3.0L motor? I always have, am just curious what would happen with 87 in it?

I've been putting in 95 octane. Do you mean that 91 should work fine?
Downunder the difference between the two is NZ$0.05. So 70 liters equate to NZ$3.50 which is the cost of a cup of cappuccino.

somewhat sucks that CALI only has 91. But who's complaining over $4.00 a gallon here.
i feel your pain bro...

I was just wondering. I have no intention on running it. I know its only like a couple dollar difference between the two. GOD IMAGINE HOW MUCH 95 OCTANE WOULD BE, OR HOW MUCH THEY WOULD CHARGE IN THE STATES!!! I know some 76 stations sell 100 octane by my house but im not paying 6-7 bucks a gallon!!
