''7a-fe engine - Unleaded gasoline, Research Octane Number 91 (Octane rating 87) or higher. 5s-fe engine - Unleaded gasoline, Research Ocatane Number 91 (Octane rating 87) or higher. For improved vehicule performance, the use of premium unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 96 (Octane Rating 91) or higher is recommended.''
Directly from my owner's manual. I've always used Shell V-Power 91 octane in my St204 and it runs good. I ran on 87 octane when I bought the car for like a few weeks or so and it felt a bit better when I switched to 91. Felt like the throttle responded a bit quicker and was a little more torquier (is that how you say it? lol). This post has been edited by dudeofchaos: May 4, 2012 - 11:33 PM |

I ran on 89 octance for a month when I bought my car. Then gave it a full tune up and started running 91 and it feels like it had better throttle response and more torque too. I've pumped Chevron only but I think the previous owner ran cheap gas because it wasn't that healthy before the tune up. Lol. -------------------- |
