Perhaps not enough to scare us off from purchasing, but mostly because we drive so few miles/year.

Yes and no. The 93 is
recommended but 91 is
required so you don't have to go all the way to the top. You will lose a tiny bit of performance on 91 but it won't hurt anything. Regular (87) can be used in a pinch but I would not use it all the time.
It is the compromise needed to run a high compression NA engine I am afraid.
