Octane - silly question
Hi folks,
My owner's manual states 91 ron+mon/2 (US rating) octane is required, although from reading through threads on here it sounds like some have experienced pinging with this rating.
Is the consensus to just run 93? I'm a firm believer in not wasting money on high octane for an engine that doesn't need, but if these motors verge on pinging then I have no problem shelling out the extra nickel per gallon.
Cheers!

My C4 hates 91 Ron, loves 95.
I had a thread this week where my wife filled up with regular instead of premium... car is down on power, not smooth on delivery.
