I just got the car and I have to go fuel it up and have no idea what gas this car needs. The owner’s manual did not come with the car. So what does it need 87, 89, or 93.


Also if some one here has a PDF of the owner’s manual, can it be e-mailed to me or something?


Thanks a lot in advance.

87 is fine. If your looking for a lil more refinement then you can go with 93 but 87 will do.

Officially, for the V6 engines is premium recommended (91+). For I4, Regular unleaded (87+) is fine.

If you put regular in a V6, you'll lose some power to compensate for the lower octane, but it wont hurt it at all and will save you a few bucks at the pump.

they are right... but I see it a little different... I always pump premium:

It keeps my injectors cleaner
Oddly enough, I also get better gas mileage... which helps compensate for the added cost.
Also, the car seems more responsive and it has better performance. I don't mind paying an extra 2 or 3 dollars a week for all that.
