Have a 1990 Vanagon Carat.  Ran 87 octane for years.  Started to run
worse and worse. Eventually the oil pressure light came on after heavy
up-hill acceleration.  Upon the advise on my mechanic went to 93 octane.
the car immediately ran differently.  Almost like a new car.  Now I only
use 92 or 93.  It made a clear difference for me.
