I ran Chevron 91 last year because of my HAI (hot-air-intake => lean-burn => higher octane is better to avoid knocking/pinging). I switched to 87 when the gas prices got too high, didn't notice a change, and never switched back.

I have a hankering to up the octane again because my car is *different* from last year. I also think it has been on 87 for so long that I might be able to detect a difference in the way it drives (big *shrug*).
