Unless your motor's out of tune and pings with 87, it doesn't do much... probably slows you down a bit.

it doesn't make a big difference but it does tha job. I put 100 in it to get the best time out of it that I can it make the combustion in your motor cooler. You should try to use 100 its better for your ride. I only get to drive it in the weekend so why not. [burnout]

Poor guy. Probably only drives on weekends because he can't afford gas for the other days.

Try just using 87. If you don't feel a power loss or hear any weird pinging noises, stick with that.
