Default WHICH GAS OCTANE LVL DO U GUYS BUY?

Do you guys buy the octane with the lowest, medium or highest level?

Does high octane gas gives you a better performance? Heard that it helps during winter.

I just get the lowest one because im cheap

i think i wrote my answer in a few hundred places around the internet... along with quite a few posts here..

perhaps searching the word "octane" and browsing through some of the results.. you'll get an idea what you should use.
