cheap gas is for cheap cars. treat your car to the good stuff and she'll treat you right. i ran 89 once by accident and felt so bad that i instantly ran in and got some octane boost. my mechanic that i use when i can't do it myself once told me that these cars are specifically tuned for higher octane (premium). i'll take his word for it. RUN PREMIUM!

Try finding a station that has 92 or 94. For me there is definately a difference with torque response.

Dont use anything below 91. I fill up 93 Vpower every time. My software demands it as well.

I was told that you need to run a min of 91oct for the turbo's sake as well. Is that true?
