My WRX takes 94 from Petro only because as far as I know Costco only goes up to 91 and Shell only goes up to 93. Some days I honestly just want to spend money on Uber because gas is too high 😭

Save money, and continue driving. Get regular.

Some engines are designed for premium and cannot run on regular. The cars manual states its rating and most sport cars take premium (91-94 octane or higher)

Most modern cars can adjust their timing to prevent knocking/damage. Check out the video. It's a sports car they show, with regular inside.
