Default I have no clue. All I know is that standard Octane at the pumps are 87,89 and 91.

Esso is the only place that sells 92 Octane.

Default next time look at the sticker on the pump

AKI stickers are usually yellow and say AKI
and RON+MON/2 very clearly
if ESSO is 92 AKI, I would only run the 93 program in cold weather

BUT, if it's 92 RON, then that's like 88 AKI, yikes!!

but it sounds like you have AKI, because CA has 87.89, and 91 as well

Default Nothing bad, just may not be getting the best results

Here in Hawaii, we only have 92 on the pumps, there are a few places we can get race gas from, but for the most part just 92. Basically the ECU will probably cut back timing to compensate for the lower octane in an attempt to avoid knocking. So bottom line, not getting the full potential out of the chip.
