Ryan,

Put some 80-83 octane unleaded regular in and check it out...If it don't 
ping, you have no problems and will get no additional power from higher 
octane fuel.

If it pings, add some higer octane...the 87 stuff and finally if that still 
pings, some of the super 90 high test!

I run mine however on the cheap unleaded stuff, seeing as how unleaded is all 
you can get anywhere, and it does fine.

I've yet to hear anyone on any of the lists say they have had a problem 
running unleaded.
