Yup I saw that too; this (and everything I can see) just says "'premium". Doesn't say what "premium" means.
In Canada 91 constitutes premium (87/89/91 for the 3 grades). There are very few - if any - choices for 93.
(I think PetroCan does out East but not in BC).

True, but the salt used on the roadways causes high blood pressure!

Basically we're saying you should try running regular instead of premium. It may or may not help with mileage but at the very least it will save you 20 to 30 cents per gallon - probably more than you could save by changing the way you shift.
