What octane to use?

What octane gas should I use in my 88 GXL (n/a)? I use 93 but someone said to use 87. I thought higher octane was better for my engine but he said it causes to much unburnt something or other. Well, what should I use?

You are one day late in starting the monthly octane thread in the 2Gen forum. Well, a few hours late, anyway.

Please note the Search button in the top right-hand corner of this forum. Typing in a search for "octane" in thread titles of the 2Gen forum yields the following links:
