Premium is the highest with a 93 octane.

It all depends upon where you live.

In most of the north east we have regular 87, special 89 and premium 93.
However some brands, like Citgo, also have 91, which they call premium and then they label their 93 as Super Premium.

In other parts of the country, 92 or even 91 is the highest available octane and it is called premium.

Sunoco used to sell 94 octane, which they called Ultra, but I haven't seen it in a while as it has been replaced by 93 octane gasohol around here.

Since the 2005 Mustang (both V6 and V8) will have 89 as the recommended octane, I'm not quite sure what this question is doing here in the 2005 Mustang section.

87 octane is the recommended fuel (at least from what we know so far) for the '05 GT and V6 models.

Me, I'm from Montreal, Quebec. You guys from de states CAN NOT imagine how we get screwed up here !!! Today the price went from 89.4 ( THE LITER by the way ) to 99.9 !!! GOD DAMNNNN !!! USA ALL THE WAY lol

I went to fill my car up today, at 89.4. Got to the gas station I allways go to. I asked to fill it all the way, the guy told me... we are out !!! Gess I wasn't the only one who wanted to fill my car up. But I got lucky found an other gas station that was still a 89.4.

a buck a litre in canada works out to about 2.80 a gallon in the states, in case you're wondering.
A buck a litre is still cheaper than 1.25 for half a litre of NAYA bottled water.

Super and Premium are usually the same (93). Most stations go = regular(87), Plus (89), Super/Premium (93). Out in Cali Super/Premium is 91 octane.

I'm sure someone will ask again, so I might as well say it again. The 2005 Mustang GT will run on 87
