The Wawas near me are all 92. Unless you're running on the ragged edge of compression and timing, I doubt that one point is going to affect anything, but they still charge like it is 93.

Update: The car now has over 17k miles. We drove it to FL and back, averaged 32 MPG, started on the donkey piss I bought last week, ending on 89. It didn't seem to make any MPG difference in my small sample size. I don't really floor it much in this car so
about performance. It just isn't really all that exciting compared to
as far as that goes.
Musings after putting almost 1,500 miles on the car:
Positives:
-looks great
-the seats are simply incredible, I've never driven as much as I did this weekend with zero back discomfort
-super comfy all around
-fuel economy
-power is really nice and delivery is quite linear
-brakes are good
Negatives:
-using an aux cable because poverty and the jack doesn't work that well, I have to wedge something between the cable end in the glove box to hold it in place for L and R audio to both pass
-there is some vibration noise in the shifter area when it's in 6th gear, I need to dive into this at some point
-the digital oil checking takes 3X longer than just having a dip stick
-handling is meh - I know everyone said this already but a GTI is more fun to drive

accumulation of miles, did you get a record of who changed the oil last? When is it due for the next one?

The computer knows a fair amount. It adjusts to your driving styles as well IIRC.
I'd change the oil with your regular Walmart M1 and throw in a fresh filter. Should be cheap enough.
