Re: WHAT KIND OF GAS

87 octane is fine for your engine. <br /><br />The problem with most 89 or higher octane fuels is that most of them have alcohol added to it. This is bad for some components of your fuel system. <br /><br />It may also have additional additives that will cause problems, this has been debated here, and no concensus evolved. <br /><br />So stick with an 87, or 89 if alcohol free.
