Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
number (Research octane number 96).

If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded
regular gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI
number (Research octane number 91) may be
temporarily used, but only under the following
precautions:

. Have the fuel tank filled only partially with
unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with
unleaded premium gasoline as soon as
possible.

. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.

However, for maximum vehicle performance,
the use of unleaded premium
gasoline is recommended.
Thank you! Probably the most valuable comment in this entire thread. Who would have thought the owners manual would have had something valuable in it aside from showing you how to use your seatbelt and operate cruise control?
