my girlfriend's parents just bought one and she says it will run on 87 octane.

i looked at the specs and the engine is 13:1 comp 4v per clyinder double overhead cam with varible timing.

13:1-shouldnt it be run on premium 91?

nope....regular old regular....87octane

Mine runs like a clock on 87. very high compression with Atkinson cylce engine...

from the owner's manual 87 octane recommended.

Uncle Bens White. The brown stuff causes carbon buildup w/ prolonged use.

We've been using 87 with no problems for about a year and a half.

Yay for cheap gas!!

retard the timing enough and you can burn pure crap in an engine.
