Default type of gas

I am planning on picking up a new 2006 636 and just wanted to know what type of gas do you guys put into your bike. The dealer told me 93, is that true? If this is a repost sorry. Thanks for the help

I run 91 octane and 93 once in a while, but if I am around Lee, NH (about 45mins from my house) I go to the Shell station and get 100 octane, it's $4.95/gal. but with gas prices these days and 48 mpg it's worth it.
