Regular Gas?

Does the manual say 'recommend' or 'require' premium?

Here's what it says:

Recommended specifications:

Unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (RON 96)*1

I looked up 91 AKI and that falls in the category of Premium...at least according to this photo on Wikipedia:

If it says 'Recommended' then you can fill up with regular and it'll be just fine, but don't make it a habit.
