Answers
1)   look in your owner's manual, it will have a recommendation for you for that - bmwrider001

2)   If you put 87 in it and your engine doesn't knock or ping then it's perfectly fine. Chances are you will have no problems running 87. - El Duderino

3)   its use what gets you the best mileage with not the price not the octane but what gets you best mileage way one checks is say going away from house place you like to stop most fill with best or highest octane set mileage write it down drive til one needs to refill at same place use next lower octane and one that gets you the best mileage right one to use at that place then go to another place do same thing then you do same thing with two places coming home then you know two types two places where to buy what you car needs its like this say
my nissan gets great mileage with shell high octane but gets same mileage with mobil regular
its what you get the best mileage with and whats recommended is just that a recommended octane doesn't mean that's what you use or not since each driver and fuels are different one needs to test and decide which one gets the best mileage.
i know my car runs best with shell high octane
my truck runs better with mobil regular than shell high octane
my bike gets great mileage with chevron

up to driver to know which fuel gets the best mileage with common higher the octane better the mileage doesnt mean its works

bad no really but should know what gets you the best mileage with that wil save your money not what it cost is its what mileage you get by using it
cheaper is not always better or highest price not always better that everyone needs to know is what gets you the best mileage not what brand or octane or price that 2 cents you save on cheap fuel mighty cost you 5 miles or more to use it thus costing you more to go less miles and higher octane that doesnt get you better mileage just a waste of money its what brand or octane that gets the best mileage with you test a few brands and a few octanes you wil know whats your car needs not what you want to use or pay for - kelly_f_1999

4)   I would say it depends on how hard you are going to drive it. It's usually best to use what's recommended. As far as the owners manual, go to a Dodge or Chrysler dealer and order one. - badbill1941

5)   Once in awhile is no big deal but I wouldn't do it all the time.

FI (turbo and supercharged) engines almost always require premium gas because the compression will cause detonation (knocking) which is bad for the engine.

A few say recommended and they just pull the timing to compensate. This will cut your power and its not really a great thing for your car long term since its not designed to do this forever just once in awhile. Also I assume you bought the turbo model because you wanted the power. - emiller1998

6)   The computer will compensate for the lower octane fuel.
You may lose a little power and mileage but it wont hurt anything.
Might actually be less expensive mpg wise to go ahead a run the 89 or 91 though.
best of luck! - Dave

Question 2
What is wrong with my Sebring?...  My 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible (2.7 liter with almost 90,000 mi) engine (I think) is going crazy! It suddenly started loosing power one day coming home from work as I'm trying to get on the interstate - the engine appeared to be missing terribly (to the point of shaking the entire car) and would only go 20 mph tops. I stopped, had my husband pick me up so we could let it cool (hoping this would help) - came back 3 hours later in the evening and had problems starting it & keeping it running. The engine was still missing and jerking the car - it would only go 10 mph at this point (max) and was VERY JUMPY in it's accelleration, then would act like it was going to die. We left it in the driveway over night - the next day my husband started it & it idled fine. I didn't want to take a chance so I left it home for another day - I know, ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away!

Another day or 2 later, my husband tried to start it again and it sounded/ran fine - until you try to drive it somewhere. Then it misses a lot - if you push too quickly on the gas it sputters and misses more. There have been no back-fires. We've had it run on 2 diagnostic machines and gotten some codes for what might be wrong, but I don't want to (and can't really afford) to change out everything the codes are telling us (bad cam &/or crank sensors, leaking fuel line [which I've seen no evidence of], and a couple of other things).

Has anyone else had something similar happen with their Sebring (or other Chrysler)? I'm afraid I have to start looking for a 'new' car, but can't really afford it right now - we need to keep this one running for a while (if it's worth the effort).

Answers
1)   repl battery/its going in to the tubes and cant supply enough juice to inj sys and all other works - ken k

2)   The Chrysler Sebring was just recently rated the worst used car to buy, because it has such a history of repair issues. I would dump it fast if you can and get something that will not give you endless headaches. - Alice

3)   I wish you had listed all the codes retrieved. many times the actual problem will set additional codes which can be ignored by an experienced tech who knows which codes to address first.
Having said that i can tell you that there are no codes associated directly with leaking fuel lines. And since you see no evidence of that you can pretty much rule it out.
There are several codes you may have retrieved associated with cam & crank sensors and virtually all of them can cause the symptom you described so thats probably where you will find your problem.
If I knew exactly which P-code you had I could be alot more specific.
But i can tell you a cam or crank sensor is not an expensive fix. Dont give up on your car yet. The repair will probably be very minor.
If you wrote down the codes you had read please feel free to re-submit with that info and I'll try to nail it down for you.
Best of Luck! - Dave

3)   We've seen a rash of failing Wireless Control Module's lately. It's the module that controls security and other features mounted on the key cylinder and it will cause exactly that symptom..
Try This.
Remove the IOD fuse, It's the fuse enclosed in a black or clear holder in the fuse block in the trunk. It wont come all the way out, just squeeze the tabs on the sides and lift it up about 1/4 inch to disengage it. (if you are confused you can find detailed info on the location of the IOD fuse in your owners manual)
Wait about a minute and push the fuse back in.
If the car starts after doing this call your dealer on Monday and tell them you have a bad WCM. They'll know what you mean.
Best of luck ! - Dave
