Seeing as the 05 spectra isn't a high performance vehicle, 87 octane is fine. You can run 91 or 93 but studies have shown that there is no real benefit in running a higher octane than recommended unless you have issues with engine knocking.

What the first guy said is wrong on some parts you can run any of them but higher octane means better burn and combustion u also get better gas mileage and silo get increase to performance and engine life time
