   yes, the same octane, sorry. i use 89 in all my vehicles, though i 
intend to do tests with 87 after i run through my first batch. previous 
tests indicated lesser mileage with 87.

   actually, on further extrapolation, with the better gasoline, i end 
up saving about 58 cents per fill-up @ every 10 days for a savings of 
$21.17 per year. not much, granted, but it does pay for the nice pine 
trees to hang from the mirror :)
