Default What do you fill up with?

Title says it all...

The first few times I had to fill up my Genni, I used regular. Daily driving with it, the ride felt very bumpy and lots of "lag" (for a lack of better term).

Now I switched to Premium. The car drives more smoothly, ignoring the suspension and what not issues that make the car already bumpy. I don't have any personal justifiable reason for using premium other than its "makes your car run better". Hope someone can proof me wrong.

91, preferably Mobil
I'd use 93 if it was available in my area.

i use 87 octane. i drive 100 miles a day back and forth to work. i get just over 400 miles per tank,so i could care less about 93 octane. there was a post a few days ago from puerto rico and he said there was no 93 octane available on the island at all only 91 octane,i guess all the guys that reflashed their e c u's with the 93 octane program had to take the bus/cab/bicycle to work,sucks to be them!!
