Either way, just get the cheapest gas you can find.

new on forum! i had thought tha the higher the octane the better the combustion n/a or turbo
pre-detonation (knock). Because of the design of the rotary's combustion chamber,
a longer burning fuel will still be burning as the exhaust port is uncovered, causing
even higher exhaust temps than normal.

Then you start to run into timing issues with the tips of the rotors at higher RPM.
And as stated above, it's not necessary unless you're boosted.
