What gas does everyone run in there 330's? I know the manual says its ok with 87 octane but it also says you will gain better performance if you run 91 (the good stuff). Im guessing it has a knock sensor that reduces timing if you run the low grade stuff.......

Ours got poor mileage for the first 1000 miles, and it gradually improved. We use 87 octane in ours, as directed. This vehicle is designed to be efficient at 87, which is one of the reasons we chose it over one of the other luxury models that want 91 or 94.
