unless you have a knocking problem you dont really NEED higher octane gas. if you get the occasional knocking under acceleration you could go with higher octane or do some timing adjustments.

I know my 1993 GT was set-up to run on 89. Use higher octane if you are using Nitros, Supercharger, Turbo, or advanced timing to ward off detonation.
I use Sunoco 93 with 14* adavanced timing
