Whatever "premium" is at the gas station.
91 or 93 it seems usually. I don't pay much attention to it, it's a nature of life.

I've always used 87 and always get between 14.7 to 15.3 MPG over many tanks of gas. I may have to try a few tanks of 91 to see if I can get 10% more MPGs!

91+ only.....
also, doesnt using lower octane increase the chance of gunk buildup? just like your arteries being clogged by fats/oils = you die faster?
