any type gas most cars can run on what matters
is how many miles you get by running right octane or brand
what one does is test afew brands an doctane to know whichgets the best mileage
strting with place you liketo stop at most fil with highest octane set mileage write it down
drive til youneed to refill at same place use next lower octane write down mileagew and one that gets you the most is right one at that place onll
then go up stree to nextplace do same thing do thsi with two or more places going away from house
and two or three comingback home

its like say my nissan geets great mileage with shell high octane butr gets same mileage with mobil regular

each car each driver a nd each brand of fuel wil be some what different higher the octane alwasy to start with so you know best it wil be then work down some cars need high octane other wil run just has good on mid or regular grades knowing which gets you the best mileage what you want to know

Recommended fuelPremium unleaded 91 octane

Using gasoline with an octane lower than 91 octane may cause damage to the engine. Please consult the owner's manual for details.

The minimum recommended Octane gas to use according to the Owner's Manuals is 91 or Higher. Regular gas will work, but if you want your TL to work, and work well for a long time then heed the advice in the Owner's Manual.

the manual recommend 91 octane. If you are a conservative driver you can use a lower octane (regular) without problems. I use regular gas and have 97,000+problem free miles on my now 3 year old (bought new) acura
