93- either Shell or BP. but i hear with BP you might have some salt or a fish pumped into the gas tank

I read in my SS owners manual that even though 91 is recommended, the V8 can run on 87. This is a very versatile feature for the SS and frankly I appreciate it. I only use premium 91 from Esso, but when I can find 93 I use that also. I assume that the computer retards timing when using 87 or 89.

Nice to hear that an SS owner has no issue using 87, thanks GM for the versatility!

Shell 93 after my two free gas fill-ups from the dealer. They used BP 87.

The highest I can get....most places around here only have 87, 89 and 91, so I use 91 the most, but if I can get higher, I do.
