You would gain absolutely nothing by using the 89.
Octane doesnt make gas better, it just prevents it from detonating, which is only an issue if you have a high compression engine. And if you do, your manual, and probably even the gas cap/door, will tell you so.
That being said, it won't hurt anything, but theres really no point, so don't bother.

so higher performance cars user higher octane because they use higher compression?

There is a gas station near my work that sells 87 and 89 at the same price. The owners manual on my car says to use 87. Would I hurt my car by using 89 instead? And would I gain any more power, gas millage, etc?

In Iowa, 89 is usually cheaper than 87, because our 89 contains ethanol.
That's what I saidOriginally posted by: redly1
You ever notice that the price per mile you drive is less for 87?
