I have tried 91 octane gas from a number of different top tier stations as well as blended 100 octane pump fuel at a ratio in the 93-94 range. Unfortunately I feel a trip to the dealership will result in nothing but a wasted trip with a "this is normal" outcome. For now I'm just trying to slow my shifting down a bit and keeping my engine completely stock until a solution is found or a mechanical failure happens. Please share your findings. Thank you!
I will definitely update....
But, what a disappointment in terms of lack of r&d on the manufacturers part.
