Why do you want to put fuel preservative in your tank? Is the car going to sit for awhile? Run the lowest octane you can find for your n/a. The high octane stuff will do nothing for you except empty your pockets. Only use 91 octane if youve got a turbo.

Stock just run 87 (or the lowest you can find) octane. Higher octane just helps prevent detonation, nothing else. Once you start modding I guess it depends on what you've done. If the gas is that old pull the tank and drain it.
