The price of 93 octane fuel in Connecticut is $1.59 (ouch). 87 octane
is $1.37 if you save $0.50 using 87 octane that means your tank only
holds 2.2 gallons. My 14 gallon tank costs $3 more per fill up with 93 octane. 
It works out to about $100 per 10,000 miles. See if it is worth it for the 
performance increase you get.

Comments Welcome!!
