If you get a chance, could you please type in the whole paragraph re: octane? I'd like to compare it to the 2005 version that I quoted above.
Thanks,
Ben
OK Ben,
Here ya go, right from the manual.
"GAS STATION INFORMATION
_ Fuel selection:
Premium unleaded gasoline with an Octane Rating of 91
(Research Octane Number 96) or higher required for
optimum engine performance. However, if such premium
type cannot be obtained, you may use unleaded gasoline
with an Octane Rating as low as 87 (Research Octane
Number 91)."
The key phrase there is "for optimum engine performance". But, "if such premium type cannot be obtained". So, they are heavily suggesting premium.
