What kind of Fuel?

What kind of fuel do you use? Ordinary? Super? Super+ ?

My dealer told me to use ordinary.. but then in our manual, it says 91(super) or 93(super+) im kinda confused.

You're fine. Only use premium fuel from this point forward and you have nothing to worry about.

Your dealer did not tell you that! It's some moron who works for the dealer who told you that.
Unfortunately your dealer hires these morons and should be held accountable as well.

Premium. It's only a couple dollars more per tank. Cheap insurance for top performance and reliability.

I think the car's mpg pays for the premium as to regular fuel.

This isn't that hard. Who are you going to believe? The people who sold you the car(dealer)? Or the people that MAKE the car(manual)? Seems pretty obvious to me!
