What type octane do you put in your Outlander? What brand do you prefer and why?

Octane rating are not equal around the world. his 98 is our 91 in fact the 94 you mentioned would be 101.5 in his world.

Octane rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regular (87). I only use top tier gas (Top Tier Gasoline). There's a Quik Trip a half of mile from my house and that's where I fill up. When traveling I use Chevron, Shell, or Mobil, whichever one is available.

I have been using nothing but Exxon Regular 87 Octane because it gives me about 300 to 340 miles per full tank. I have reset my odometer with other gas stations and none come close.
