There is zero benefit running 91 octane fuel in an engine with low
compression, and no knock sensor (stock WBX).  High octane fuel only makes a
difference in the 10 or 10.5:1 compression engines out there that can
advance/retard timing dynamically to control detonation.  They will run more
advance with high octane fuel meaning more power, cleaner combustion.
