93 in Tampa FL. Rare to see 91. It usually drops to 89.

Thanks for the input everyone I noticed a lot of past threads on this but no real answers. I will definitely be using Chevron gas and I think I'll start with 91 octane and if I see problems go the the uber premium but I don't think it will be an issue.
