What gas do you run in your car

I always run 91 in my 850 GLT because I've heard of nasty things happening with 85 fuel.. However, I think I may have busted a myth.. I was hard on cash and only had 10 bucks to throw in my tank, so I decided to make it count and go 85. I hooked my scanner up (I have a bluetooth ELM327) and ran an app on my droid that would alert me if the car knocked or detected a retard signal from the knock sensor. It seems 85 is no harm for a turbo 850, though I won't vouch for t-5's or cars with higher timing settings.
But there is a near night and day difference between 85 and 91, I can definitely tell you that, mainly because there is less N/A-generated torque and it becomes more reliant on the turbo.
