91 Thats what i've been running with this RX7. What do you think, is this to high or should I go with some 89 octane?

If its N/A stick with the lowest you have (87 or so) if its turbo use that same gas except when you know you'll be driving it hard use a higher octane.

So your saying i can run 87 all the time excpet for when im going to be running the car hard? Is running 94 all the time "bad" I thought with turbo's tyou were supposed to run higher octane ALL the time to prevent detonation.... Maybe im wrong. Straighten me out someone!

When I drive normally I rarely use the turbo at all. When you first get it I wouldn't bother running 87 because you're going to abuse the car... everyone does when they first buy it. But when you've calmed down some run the 87 and you'll be fine. Running 94 can cause carbon buildup.

ok this topic hasn't been posted on for a while but I live in CO and I guess since we have such high altitude, we have lower octane gas. Our lowest out here is 85...would that be ok for my n/a 86 7?
