2007 mustang gasoline octane question i think this might be a silly question, but will going from mid grade to premium gasoline like 89 to 91 make a big difference in your car's performance? i know if you have like a cai and a tuner it would, but what about stock other than an exhaust?

The difference in performance isn't enough to justify the extra expense of premium.

ive seen that they come with tunes from american muscle, as far as something to start off with would that probably be the best way to go is like the 87 tune? this car is also my daily driver so i really dont want to burn up the gas faster than i can fill her up
