Premium fuel is only ~.20 cents more than regular. The added octane allows for better timing and more performance. Anything less, especially with a mail order tune is a waste of $$ imo.

You do have westerners up there right??

I thought that is why they have a low and high octane table? So you can use 91 octane, but still use 87 octane also. And you still might see a little bit more performance using the 91 octane. Am I right or wrong on this?

He can get a 93 tune and let the tuner know he wants his 87 tune in the low octane table. I've heard of some tuners copying the hi table over to the low table, then you're stuck if you get some bad gas or put the wrong octane in it.
