I would assume the highest available at your Gas station... 91 or 93? I'm not sure though

i think you should be just fine with regular unleaded, maybe mid grade. premium isn't going to do anything but waste your money.

You want to run the lowest grade gas possible without detonation(pinging).In your case I think you'd be fine with 87,as you don't have any timing mods or FI. There's a common misconception that running higher octane gas = more HP.
