    Why do people use 91 versus 87? Is it really that much better?

    Modern day ECU's have long term and short term fuel trim, as well as knock feedback. Basically if you feed the truck good fuel for a while it will learn and adjust the ignition and fuel tables accordingly. This can lead to more available power and better fuel economy.

    I work for an OEM and would never deviate from the OEM supplied oil. They do a boat load of testing on the effects of oil on the powertrain.
