91/92.

From the factory it "Recommends Premium" but I'm running higher-than-stock compression, so I now require premium.

Stock internal'd 300zx:
-When it ran 94.

Once complete (heavily upgraded internals):
-Q15/Q16 - depends on availability

Now, you "waa premium" drivers go to hell, try filling up with that stuff.

I'm surprised no one has chimed in with putting 91+ octane in their accords/civics.

I follow the manual, and use 87 octane in my car.

94 chevron only cause they are discontinuing the petro can 94 or something.

I found with the petro can 94, the car was much more responsive and it got me a lot farther than chevron.

Didn't someone say that petro 94 is the same as chevron 94?
