checking on info for 91 octane tune. Can I run 89 octane on 91 octane tune, that's as close as it gets around here. Just don't want to mess anything up. Thanks

No I wouldn't try it. I have mine on tow mode running 87 and works great. The extra torque helps spin my 37's.

you can only run a minimun of 91 octane. if you use 87 for a long period of time you risk messing your motor all up and im pretty sure a warrenty wouldnt cover that

I also found that the tow tune with 87 octane was the best for both power feel and mileage.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the towing package required the 91 octane.

I don't think any of the tunes actually requires a certain octane. I have seen so many opinions on all the tunes on here that I tried them all and settled on the Tow with 87 as the best performance for the money.
