From what I've read you are wasting your money putting in 93 octane. You might get a slight performance increase, but I don't think 93 octane in the end will make any difference in the life of your engine, most gasolines have detergents added. What I try and avoid are gasolines with methanol added (corn byproduct). That stuff in my opinion will gum up an engine, though it reduces emmissions. I like to use valvoline SynPower line of fuel injector and fuel system cleaner but its wa more expensive compared to penzoil's prodcuts.
