Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but,

I see people commenting/worrying about the 91/93 octane thing all the time. I know this was not the OP's issue however I'll put in my $0.02.

At low altitudes (sea level) you need higher octane (greater pressure, more compression) so 93 is available.

I believe that at higher altitudes, Colorado, Western states etc, y'all only have 91 octane max because 93 is simply unnecessary in the "thinner" air. So if 91 is what you see all the time it should be 100% fine in this car as long as you stay at those elevations.
