get the highest octane and work your way down.
if it doesn't ping under load with the lower octane, you're good ...
AndyPS: if you fill up with lower octane for the first time, don't top off the tank.
only get like half a tank or so.
if it starts pinging badly, you can always top it off with high octane ...
Yea, Andy is right. You want to run the lowest octane without pinging.
Remember, octane is exactly opposite of what you think (ie "high test"); the higher the octane the slower the burn and the more additives the fuel has. The additives in higher octane fuels can mean more carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. If you have to run high octane, then you should think about adding some Techron or BG fuel additive to help keep the combustion chamber clean.
