If the manufacture reccomends premium or 93 octane gas, its for a good reason. For example, try throwing 87 or 89 octane into a 3SGTE powered MR2. You will get some nice detonation and burn up your engine right quick.

But when it comes to a camry or one of those cars that dont specify octane ratings, then Its wise to just go with 87 or 89.... anything more really is a waste of money
true enough, its the same with the evo, altho i dont know if it the manual says it "recomends" or "requires" x octane
