I Started running with 87, the manual did not require premium, so I went with the cheap route. After reading a thread on here about the benefits of using a higher octane fuel, I switched just to see if I could tell a difference. Well, I havent switched back, the higher octane seems to run quite a bit smoother and I do notice a difference in the performance/reaction time. Its worth the miniscule difference in $

I havent been running Lucas as of yet, I used to on my truck, I didnt think it would make a difference on such a new engine, but now that its got a year worth of use, I may begin using it to keep things clean.
