I used Gulf 87 for a while, then switched to Exxon 87 and then 93. Now I'm using Shell V-Power (93). I didn't know that 93 in a LFX engine could decrease milage? Welp.

I'm probably going to stick with shell and either throw in 87 or 93 depending on how much they rise. I currently pay around $3.49 for regular and $3.79 for premium around northern NJ.

However, I did notice that the car "feels" more intense running on 93 versus 87. Maybe that's just me haha.
