Does the FRS need 87, 89, 91, or 93 gas?
 
Every one is saying you need premium gas for the FRS but which one is premium? The gas station I went to says that 89 is premium.. So is 91 and 93. So which one do you exactly fill up with?

91 is minimum. You can put 93 in if your heart desires

I use diesel.

Really depends on where you live. I know that in higher elevation states 89 is the typical 'Premium' gas so you have no option there. The car can handle 91 octane just fine but just expect to be short of some power because the car will change ignition timing to account for less compress-able fuel. Myself personally I run 93 octane from BP which is also E10. She's running fine and I've never had the crickets in this gas (Probably just a correlation and not causation but wouldn't want to mess with a good thing) so I've never changed which gas station I go to unless it's on a long road trip. Even then I strive to find a BP with 93 octane. I'll grind my teeth when I have to fill up with 91 and/or 92.

Sorry OP but this has been covered a million times. 91 is minimum, if they have 92,93 or 94 that will work too. Read the book ;)

I use Wesson

Edit- wrong thread, I thought this was what type of oil to use. Don't use Wesson!

I use naturally produced methane, man made.

Hello lupindub ....... :slap: ....... yep, it's a good idea to re-read the owners manual .......:)

I would suggest that you buy your gas from a popular, name brand, top-tier gas station and punch the button on the pump that is most expensive.

PS - NOT diesel ...... :D

It will run just fine on 89 as well.

Easiest way to put your pump gas worries to rest is to buy an OFT and tune for E85 :D

I've been running E85 for a couple of months and love it. Every time I take a road trip and have to switch back to 93 it bums me out. The added power of the E85 tune and JDL headers is addictive.
