I've put nothing but Chevron in the car since day one. . . but yeah, I tried 91 for a while and switched back to 87. It didn't seem to make much of a difference for daily driving.

This kinda bugs me. . . the manual just recommends 87 octane. . . if this isn't unusual, you'd think there would be something in the manual saying, "but if you don't want to knock your way up hills, use 91."
