I've never paid attention to 93 oct. I just get the regular. Never thought it was worth it.

For the octane boost no but for the additives and detergents yes.

I'm in SoCal (no kidding?), and premium is $3.18 here. I have the 2.4L and 93 octane is recommended for it as many of you know. I'm getting ready to exeriment with a new octane booster which has the maximum amount of MMT allowed by law - and also nitromethane! It contains no alcohol, so is gentle on fuel lines and safe for catalytic converters and fuel injection. Will post more details after I test it...

I also have the 2.4 so that is the main reason I run 93. But even if it wasn't the recomended gas I would still use it. Wouldn't adding an octane booster not help in terms of horsepower without the computer being programed to know its running a higher octane gas? That is one of the main resons you to chip your car or use a programer. If you have a custom program made for your car they need to know what gas you intend on running.

VIN code "P" is the 2.4L engine (see below)
From the owner's manual:

Gasoline Octane

If your vehicle has the 2.2L L4 engine (VIN Code F),
use regular unleaded gasoline with a posted octane
rating of 87 or higher. If the octane rating is less than 87,
you may notice an audible knocking noise when you
drive, commonly referred to as spark knock. If this
occurs, use a gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher as
soon as possible. If you are using gasoline rated at
87 octane or higher and you hear heavy knocking,
your engine needs service.
If your vehicle has the 2.4L L4 engine (VIN Code P),
use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane
rating of 91 or higher. You may also use regular
unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but
your vehicle’s acceleration may be slightly reduced,
and you may notice a slight audible knocking noise,
commonly referred to as spark knock.
