Default Gas for a GSR

I just noticed in the manual for my GSR it says to use 91 octane fuel. Is this really necessary???

BTW, my car is completely stock.

Thanks!

yes. using anything lower will lead to the engine not performing as it should and decreased gas mileage.

in short, dont be a cheap ass and fill up with 91+

If you can't find it in your finances to spend the extra $2.33 per tankful, sell the GSR and buy an RS/LS/GS.

The motor needs high octane petrol, period.

What if you had no clue when you bought the car and you've ran 1.5-2k miles on 87? I don't mind spending the extra money because it's really not that bad, and I seriously doubt the owner before me bought prem.

I wouldn't be concerned with Seafoam at this point.

Pick up a bottle of C-12 Chemtool, follow the directions and add the correct quantity to the next 2 tankfuls of 91 octane petrol. And keep feeding her 91 or better from that point forward.
