Because that's what the PCM in the Navi. is programmed for....it pings when using 87 or 89.

Ford F250 Super Duty:
38 gallon capacity (Typical 34 gal. fill up: $80.92)
Spectra 18 jet boat
2 -20 gallon tanks
58 gal.(truck and boat) x $2.38 = $138.04
Typical for weekend out of town trip (does not include possible re-fills).

I filled up on sunday with the gas left over in the tank of the boat. I think I paid 2.05 in parker for 91 octane. I should have 1 tank left and then some. I've been thinking about taking my holley blue pump and some hose and hitting up the local storage yards for gas left in boats. :devil: JK But I bet someone will do it.

Here's some info my dad sent to me. Interesting numbers.
You may be interested to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and what major companies import Middle Eastern oil :
Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $50/barrel, these imports amount to over $35 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo.......................0 barrels
Sunoco...................0 barrels
Conoco...................0 barrels
Sinclair....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips................0 barrels
Hess........................0 barrels
ARC0.0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they import.
