GAS STATION REFERENCE
& Fuel:
! Non-turbo models
Use only unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI
(90 RON) or higher .
! Turbo models except STI
Use premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91
AKI (95 RON) or higher . If premium unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) is not available, regular
unleaded gasoline with octane rating of 87 AKI (90 RON) or
higher may be temporarily used. For optimum engine perfor-
mance and driveability, it is required that you use premium
grade unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95
RON) or higher. ! STI
The engine is designed to operate at maximum performance using unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 AKI (98
RON) or higher . If 93 AKI (98 RON) fuel is not readily available
in your area, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI
(95 RON) may be used with no detriment to engine durability or
driveability. However, you may notice a slight decrease in
maximum engine performance while using 91 AKI (95 RON)
fuel. Use of 91 AKI (95 RON) fuel will not affect your warrantycoverage. &

This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane and
Motor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as the Anti
Knock Index (AKI). Refer to “Fuel octane rating ”F 7-3.
