PREMIUM. If you don't want trouble that is. 10 1/2 - 1 compression requires the use of 93 octane.

If you use anything below premium the computer will retard the timing and you'll loose power, you can run mid grade without damage to the motor, but c'mon, that means less power, and nobody likes that. Anything 91 and up you're good.
