V6 can be run just fine on 87. I don't think 91 and a fuse pull will make any real difference on the V6.

87 is recommended for the V6. Anything higher is a waste.

The fuse pull is for V8, you wont have a problem with low octane fuel, premium will just be a waste of money for you

I started running premium and have noticed a tad better mileage. Haven't ran the numbers though. Good read none the less!

87 works ok for my V6, but it does run a little smoother with 89. Less hesitation.

I was running 93 for a while, recently switched to 87 and feel no difference (although the 93 might have contributed to me winning a trophy at the track )
