    Just wanted to see what everyone is using. I filled up for the first time the other day and got Shell V-Power 93 octane. Am I wasting my money? I tend to drive my vehicles pretty hard. Opinions wanted!

    Yeah you are wasting your money. All your 93 does is cause the fuel to burn slower......That's it.

    I'm the one who voted 93. I have an '03 V6 with a supercharger and it calls for 93...is it really necessary?

    :thumbsup: I thought so. I thought about seeing if I could get away with 91, but at only a ten cent difference, I'm not too worried about it. That's like $1-2 extra per fill-up

    Will there be any issues running this tank of 93 and then going back down to 87?
