Its either gonna run good or run like crap depending how you drive. and what mods u have to your cars engine. I use 93 permium ONLY in my 86 iroc tpi. no matter from what station. and ocassionally a bottle of fuel injector cleaner. car runs fantastic.

If it runs fine on 89, it will run on 93. If it runs well on 89, running 93 through the tank is pretty much pointless.
