I think this depends on how you drive

I use my 2002 9-3 almost exclusively on the highway, and I actually get better mileage on 87 than on 91. Perhaps this is because I accelerate less often than someone who drives in stop-and-go traffic or because I drive less aggressively than others. I dunno. But it's been true for many years of experiments. This is true with gasoline, but it is not true on ethanol blends; if I have to buy ethanol, I have to b uy 91.
However, my car doesn't like 87 in summer; it throws CELs if I do that. I run 89 in warm eather, even though my mileage goes down when I do.
