Man it’s all about OCTANE and what your engine really requires.
So what does that mean, in a nut shell if your engines compression is high you will as a rule of thumb require a higher Octane fuel to provide a slower burn rate and get maximum horse power. If your engine has a lower compression and it runs fine on regular or mid grade without knocking use that fuel. There is a good chance that using higher than required Octane fuel will rob you of power and burn up extra bucks.
You may have also noticed that some gas has a strong smell while burning (rotten eggs type of thing). This usually means high sulphur content. This sulphur content is more closely regulated in the US than in Canada. I am not sure what the actual result of more Sulphur is but I for one don’t burn ESSO or Petro Can gas because they are among the highest content of Sulphur (the fuel STINKS when it burns).
I burn 87 octane in my 96 GT and like Ultramar and Sunnoco when it is easily available.
Lots of info about gas and Octane on the web.
My comments are just my opinions, no personal scientific research here.

85.5 for ordinary 88.7 for mid 90.8 for plus, 93. 5 for suprem that is 97 octane I think? so for the 103 octane it should be 1,07$ /(liter)
