87 (regular) only. The nice thing about the 2.3!! I'm guessing the manual recommends 93 for the 3.0, but I'm not sure. My manual says regular.
I do use synthetic oil, though

everyone should be using 87 unless there is a good reason not to (FI, or nitrous)......you get worse gas mileage, and lose power going with a higher octane than needed......this has been discussed plent of times......there are reasons why you lose power, etc etc.....i rather not get into it, but if I HAVE to, then I will......

hmmm, regular here is 85 octane (high altitude), and plus is 87, and premium 91. think I should just get 85 since it's teh same ass regular (87) at sea level?
