i always fill with 93. if you can afford to drive the s you can afford to fill it up with 93. putting low grade fuel in it all the time is like feeding yourself lunchables and and little debbie snacks for dinner, not the healthiest thing to eat...

I second that. Never put in anything lower than 91, it will damage the engine.
The owner's manual says lower than 91 reduces performance, and less than 86 will cause engine damage.

I had this question a while back too. I ran mine for over 300 miles on 89 and it doesn't have any problems

But, I do recommend 91 or higher. It gets the car up to the operational temperture a whole lot quicker, meaning less warmup time and more fun.

DAMMIT! whoops. I wish I had posted this question before I filled my tank... Err actually I really don't remember what the number was... Oh well. Whatev's.
What did you fill it up with regular or plus? I wouldn't be worried much if you filled it up with plus (89).

87 = detonation in our engine..

89 = detonation in our engine..

91 isn't for power it is to prevent detonation in the engine..

Also if you use 100 Octane you will just be wasting your cash making the same amount of power..
