87 Regular Unleaded Shell.

Anything more is a waste, unless you are boosted.

yeah, search, 87 octane unless your turbo or superchargered.

octane isn't a rating of performance, power, cleaning or better mpg, it is just a rating of detonation resistance which is a concern of high performance engines that use high compression ratios or forced induction.

the stock tc is neither of those things.

v-power is a compete waste of money.... good job man.

87... top tier.... that's it.


oh.. have fun if you decide on wasting your money on racing gas.
