Hey Pap.....long time no hear.......the owners manual recommends you use 91 octane fuel......it says you can use 87 if need be but you will have slightly less performance. My idea is only the best for baby....be it a C4 or 5 or 6....they are high performance cars and need to be fed high performance fuel.........especially now when the fuel is so cheap.
On my C6 they recommend using only Tier One fuels of which I use Shell V Power Nitro every chance I get because it helps keep the fuel level sensors clean so they work properly.......which is a C6 thing........ So quit being such a cheap ass and treat your baby to the high test fuel..... |

If the manual recommends 91, I'd run that. You probably wouldn't notice a difference in slow, daily type traffic, but if you run 87 and it retards the timing under wide open throttle, you will lose power.

On a C4 LT1, the loss of power was measurable - 25hp - when running 87, vs 91.

May help (?). It is usually prudent to question authority:
"you won’t see a power or fuel efficiency increase by running high octane fuel in an engine that has been tuned and designed for Regular gas, nor will doing so perform any extra ‘cleaning’ inside the motor. On the flip side, running low octane fuel in an engine built for Premium can increase the risk of engine damage and will certainly impact that unit’s overall performance. The next time someone tries to pass these myths off on you, you can try explaining to them how octane ratings really work – or you can just smile and nod, pay for your gas and move on."
