'98 through '02 take 91 min. It says so in the owner’s manual and inside the fuel door. I'm not sure about the '93 through '97s

The 10.5:1 factory compression ratio appreciates the premium fuel.

I just play it safe a always put in supreme. Here in Texas I am paying $2.85/gallon to fill up. The car will run better with supreme and maybe some octane booster every now and then.

The manual states that 91 min oct is reccomened. personally i run either mobil or shell gas current avg $2.99/g. Ive also noticed a fair differnce in running diff companys fuel (only diff is additive pakage) as i have blown engines.
