272 Driving and Operating Premium unleaded gasoline
meeting ASTM specification D4814
with a posted octane rating of 93 is
highly recommended for best
performance and fuel economy.
Unleaded gasoline with an octane
rated as low as 87 can be used.
Using unleaded gasoline rated
below 93 octane, however, will lead
to reduced acceleration and fuel
economy. If knocking occurs, use a
gasoline rated at 93 octane as soon
as possible, otherwise, the engine
could be damaged. If heavy
knocking is heard when using
gasoline with a 93 octane rating, the
engine needs service.

following conditions; doing so
may damage the vehicle and void
its warranty:
(Continued) Caution (Continued) .

methanol, methylal,
ferrocene, and aniline.
These fuels can corrode

manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT), which can damage
the emissions control
system and spark plugs.
.
Fuel with a posted octane
rating of less than the
recommended fuel. Using
this fuel will lower fuel
economy and performance,
and may decrease the life of
the emissions catalyst. Fuels in Foreign
Countries The U.S., Canada, and Mexico post

index (AKI). For fuel not to use in a
foreign country, see Prohibited
Fuels 0 272 .
