not sure if it has any relevance but when i put 87 in on accident my car wouldn't idle/it would die at stop lights. I put octane booster in the tank and filled with premium and it hasn't done it since.

Well then theres something very wrong with your car... it shouldnt just die.

he is correct, the only difference between 87 and 93 is detonation.if you use a lower grade it will just sputter and could ping or knock, but it wouldnt make the car just die or not idle
