Default Gas for the RocketSled

Anybody had any luck with running Mid-Range fuel in their Crossfire, instead of Premium? It's 8 cents a gallon cheaper but don't want to ruin the machine.

Nope, I belly up and buy the premium. I buy gas at my neighborhood Costco, it's about 10 cents / gallon cheaper for premium than the nearest competition.

The owners manual reads pretty explicitly minimum 91 octane if I remember correctly. I wouldn't chance it.
