You want at LEAST 92, 93/94 if you can get it. The turbo rotaries need the higher octane, NAs can just use the 87(mine actually better NA w/ 87 octane than it did w/ 93)

turbo = highest octane possible = less chance of detonation and less ping



Na = lowest octane possible = more power and better MPG
