What gas octane do you use?

89 92?

Does your mpg get affected?

Has anyone done 87?

Use the highest.
It's not a mileage issue, it's to avoid early combustion which may retard timing and cause knocking, valves-tapping, etc.

When I bought my coupe, I asked the same qustion. My salesperson told me, in a low-whispered voice, "Don't even "F" with the gas. Run Super Unleaded, all of the time!
