anything. Sometimes the cheapest 87 octane, sometimes I'll put in 91. We don't have a place that sells 93 around here. 87 works just fine.

nothing but the best unless it's really hot I will drop down to the midgrade because it runs a little cooler.

as a mechanic i know that running any grade of gas higher than recommended in your manual is a waste.you will actually lose power unless your engine is set up to run higher octane(higher compression).High octane gas has less energy per gallon than reg gas.

The label under the seat of my 2002 Prairie 650 states "91MIN." Around here our options are 87, 89 and 93.
