I just got a brand new 2009 Outlander LS and I was just wondering what grade of gas do you guys put in yours. Is it 87 or 91 octane ? and if you put 91 octane, do you see a difference if gas consumption and is it worth the difference in price ?

Thanx

 

OK, I got my answer with a little research. How do I delete this post ?

 

I have used since I bought my Outie ('07 model) gas of 92 octanes; It's 0k for me this type of gas. . .

 

jsrd:

You should use 87 octaine...Anything else is a throwing money down the drain....

 

This it is the type of gas that recommended dealer to me; I will ask to them about this

 

your engine is not built for high octane gas. it's a hardware thing. not a psycholigical thing.

 

In some countries, 87 octane is not available. 92 would be the least and can go 97+ on premium grade.

I would want to use CNG if there was a valid way to convert the engine, without voiding the warranty. Now that would be a real "gas" :-)

 

Ok. The owner's manual says that I can use gasolines of 87-92 octanes range. Here in Mexico, the gasoline of 92 octanes offers in addition improvements as far as cleaning and additives, reason for which is the one that I use
