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.
