Gasoline

Several points; The manufacturer "recommends" premium instead of requires because the vehicle will operate on regular fuel, just not optimally. It will probably operate on paint thinner too.
While the computer will compensate for the differant AKI of the fuel, it does so by varying the ignition timing which directly relates to power and operating temperature. Retard timing = higher temps.
E85 = 85% Ethanol. Do not use this in any vehicle that is not marked "Flexible Fuel". Ethanol is corrosive and will deteriorate fuel system components that are not designed for it. In fact, don't use anything over 10% Ethanol.
