Z,
I put regular in mine. I get about 330 miles per tank, and that regular city/highway driving.
Peace.

I run regular. I've run several tanks of premium and the only improvement I saw was a little more mpg.

FYI, mid-grade is a gamble. It's somewhere between regular and premium, based on how the fuel truck delivery guy (or girl) mixes it. You see fuel trucks only cary two grades, regular and premium, and then mix the remainder of each to create the mid-grade.

I'm pretty sure that the mixing occurs at the pump/station - they only have two tanks in the ground too. It is usually cheaper to mix it yourself - do two transactions, one from the regular and one from the premium.

Interesting, I never knew that the Mid-grade was just a mix of the two. I have always used regular without any troubles. On previous cars, I have only switched to the more premium grades after 150K miles when they start to knock. Just a few cents.

Because of the rise in gas prices I checked the owner's manual to see if using the cheapest gas was o.k. and was relieved to see REGULAR 87 printed there.
