I just moved to montreal, from philly. they mostly have 91 here, then skip to 94. Am i see a bigger diff with 93-94, as opposed to 91 octane?

Nice #'s for those mods. But like jrp said, without tunning, it should not make a difference. But for a couple cents a gal, Why not use the 93. Unless it is not available, which I have noticed at some stations. No more Ultra 94 here.

If you look at the 93, it's probably got a little more alcohol than the 91 does; hence the cost difference.
Also, depending on altitude, 91 may be normal for Amarillo. (I dunno altitude there; just that in Albuquerque, 91 is equivalent to 93 since it's 5300+ft....)

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but if someone who's been putting lower grade gas for a looong time, is there a way to clean out the insides (sorry newbie question, I guess) or should we just go ahead and change everything, ie fuel filter, fuel injectors, etc.
