For me, since I've had the car, 30K miles, I have always used premium labeling at the pump. This is always the highest octane; but anywhere from 90 to 95 octane rating. Usually here in N.W. Georgia, USA, it's around 90. I rate how well the engine is running by the miles per gallon and most of my driving is on the interstate at speeds of typically around 75 mph cruising with bursts up to in the 90's or a bit higher to get around, through, or get ahead of the idiots. That said, I get anywhere from 29 up to 34 mpg with my best tank at 36........Lately, have found 93 octane WITHOUT ETHANOL..............Now that makes a difference with that 36 mpg tank and the average being 34.........

I get my regular maintenance at the dealer and FOR SURE use a load of "Techron" every 3K or so............God bless.......Dennis
