What the owners manual calls for (87 regular). Its not a high
compression engine so dont let anyone tell you that higher octane fuel
is cleaner or will make more power in that car.

thanks for taking time out of your mensa meeting for that scintillating
quote.

Well, premium fuel typically has less sulfur and thus decreases oil
decay, improving oil life. Also, at WOT, due to pumping losses, knock
conditions arise and with a higher octane fuel the engine management
will be able to keep a more aggressive spark timing.

However, is premium fuel necessary? No, unless your driving style
(lead-foot) calls for better transient engine response. Otherwise,
it's a waste of money.

Of course, being your money, go ahead and spend it as you see fit.
FWIW, many stations in my area charge only an extra 10c for premium
over regular...

LOL

Agreed. It can actually can cause running problems in cooler climates...
If it runs fine on 87, use 87. If you need to go to 89 (sometimes has less
alcohol in some regions) do that. But usually the super is a waste of
money.
