I don't know much about petrol (gasoline?) in the US - but over here the 
minimum octane rating for that engine is 95 roz/ron. The recommended, and what I 
always put in, is 98 roz/ron... so 93 could be a problem, potentially, unless 
they radically changed the timing on the US model. if they didn't it would, at 
the very least, switch over to the second timing map, which retards the 
ignition by a few degrees...
