86 and 87 are the same. I seriously doubt fuel companies are gonna run separate tankers for 1 difference. I know they dont cause I've seen a tanker dump his load in a city 180 miles away that the lowest is 87, then pull into my city at the place I stop and dump it and its 86 here. |

What I wanna know is who gets mid-grade?
I've never owned a vehicle, it either can run 87 efficiently, or needs 91+ for performance. None of this "well I kinda need both nonsense". |

The spirit calls for 86, and that's what it gets.

Higher octane does take longer to burn (like another couple of ms), but there is more energy content in higher octane fuel (though the amount is small). Thus overall there is more power.

Where do you get 97 off the street unless some stations are selling race fuel.

Mid grade is there so when the low grade runs out.
