The real question should be what brand of fuel you use.. Usually more important.

Since I have zero performance mods that I can remember. Just some 89 for me. Shell and Chevron.

IMO

I use 91 octane from any place reputable, like Shell or Mobil. Although I haven't had much luck with fuels that have high ethanol content.

I try to fill up before i drop below half a tank and i alternate between mid grade (89 octane) and regular unleaded (87 octane). I usually use Shell but will on occasion use Exxon, BP or other brands.

I use Sheetz 89 octane in mine. I don't have any performance mods or I would be using 93.

Manual says 89 but 87 would be fine, so I use 87 since day one and sometimes 89.
Exxon Mobile, I got much Plenti Reward, so I stick to it.

91 pure (no ethanol) at local NOCO. Unfortunately, no local top tier stations sell "no ethanol" gas.

If I'm just driving around, 87, but when I know I have something coming up where I'll be towing, I always switch to 93.

Use 89 as it's "recommended" in the manual. I swear I see a little better gas mileage using 89 as well but might be in my head :)

The cheapest from reputable place preferably.

Without mods doesn't make a difference.

87 octane all day all the time, even when towing my boat constantly on the 500 mile trip to our cabin.

I refuse to put 89 octane in, as it is rarely used by anyone. 87 gets the most usage followed by the 91/93 octane non-oxy gas. The 89 sits around in the gas station tanks too long at most stations. I'd much rather use fresh 87 than older gas with higher octane ratings.

Pure 91 (91 hf tune)

Btw up here there's no separate tank for the 89. They basically mix 87 and 91 together at the pump.

If we had pure 87 I would run that.
