I was flippin' through the manual tonight when I can across this:
"We do not recommend the use of gasoline labeled as "Regular" that are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in high altitude areas."
Living in Albuquerqe and Santa Fe at 7000-10000ft, I'd say that qualifies as high altitude. Since New Mexico is a poor state, all there is is 86 octane as regular. Should I go to mid-grade 89? (is it 89? I'll have to check) I know I can't switch to premium as I've been scolded here before for using it.
