Heavily coverd subject. Do a search. You will get mixed reviews. I wont use any thing other than 93. I saw worse mileage and performance, While others havent. Search tab is your friend


Oh and welcome to the forum

The TL-P recommends 91. You didn't mention what kind of TL you have. The TL-S might require a higher octane.

I guess you actually don't know what the manual says.

This topic has been discussed a bazillion times before. Try a search on 'octane' and you'll get lots of reading material.

I run leaded 105 octane race gas. I get 50+ mpg, plus it increased my horsepower by 30 at the wheels!!
























I kid, I kid. Just trying to make light of situation. As others have suggested, the topic has been extensively covered. A search will reveal a vast amount of information and members' differing opinions on the subject.

Welcome to the forum.

All the way down the page, ZR2 18x7.5. They don't list silver, but you can call them and order on the phone. Same price as the anthracite listed. The offset's a bit low and you have to do some work to make it fit, but I love it.
