Default your installer should be able to tell you what they loaded up, otherwise I'd assume.....

you only have the 93 octane program.

Default

you can check if you have an APR home programmer. I'd assume it's 91 on the W or 93 on the E coast.

Default Was the chip installed prior to your purchase of the vehicle? If you

purchased the chip then look through your receipts to find out what you bought.

Default Trying a higher octane gas isn't cause for concern.

It's running a lower than required octane gas that's the problem.

Your installer should be able to tell you what program you have. If it is indeed an APR chip, any APR dealer can help you.
