Read what is in the owners manual or recommended on the gas cap. It more than likely says "91 recommended or Premium Fuel Recommended."

91 or higher. I use only top tier gas 93 around by me. 87 will work if you had nothing else but it might knock and it will reduce power. Not good for long term for the engine.

There is also reduced mileage if you use 89 vs 93. 93 give you better gas mileage, negating some of the higher cost

I use 93 for normal driving around town. If Im going on a roadtrip I plan on putting 87 in it and just wont get on the throttle hard. The owners manual says 87 will work fine but to expect lower gas mileage and reduced power. Im betting the lower cost of 87 more than offsets the reduced gas mileage while cruising on a highway.
