Is it worth the reset if all you can get is 91 octane?

All I can find around where I live is 91 so far and I didn't know if it would make a difference since I can't find 93.

The reset is for a car tainted with regular unleaded. 91 shouldn't force it into the detuned map. It's worth doing if you haven't yet. I did a fuse pull after filling up with 91 for the first time myself just to make sure I was on the right map. You never know what the dealer put in...

I think 91 octane is considered premium, so I'd do a fuse pull then you'll be all set.

91 is supposed to be premium but for some reason my car did not like it. It was OK while I was in Colorado but on the trip back to Texas the car started acting odd until I put some 93 in there. (maybe altitude makes a difference?)

Maybe you just got a bad tank of gas or something.

Yes do it. It won't do any harm but it could help.
