Re: Octane rating 5th Gen (bj-99)
Running 92 octane now. I had to run 89 when gas was so high....I could tell how horrible it was. A while back, I found 94 octane. All I can say is "Amazing!"

Run premium.
You can run lower octanes but you WILL see a reduction in power as the ECU retards timing, especially at the top end.

only reason it will retard timing is if it detects pinging. you can run any gas you want if it doesn't ping.
