Fuel So I just bought a 2011 Camaro with the 6.2 l. And in the owners manual it says that I need to run 93 octane But around where I live I cannot find anything higher than 90 so what do I do to remedy this problem. Thank you for all the feedback and help
this may help
Here it is word for word from the manual itself section 8-44 Recommended Fuel:
if the vehilce has the 6.2L V8 engine (VIN Code W) or the 6.2L V8 engine (VIN Code J), use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91 or higher. For best performance, use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 93. You can also use us regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but the vehicle's acceleration could be slightly reduced, and a slight audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as spark knock, might be heard. If the octane rating is less than 87 a heavy knocking noise might be heard when driving. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, you could damage the engine. If heavy knocking is heard when using a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, the engine needs service.

It is hard to go wrong with "VP" products though a little spendy.
