The seats are glorious, the back seat is huge / roomy, with massaging rear seats. Silly, but my back seat passengers fall in love with the car. I can run regular, people do it frequently. But the manual calls for 91 octane. As you know around here, we have 87, 89 and 93 octane.
Because I'm a nerd, I either run 93 octane, or sometimes I mix 1 part of 87 octane to 2 parts 93 octane and wind up with a mix equaling 91 octane (depending on how accurate I'm able to mix). I'm a bit OCD and a lot nerd, and find it fun to mix them, fun to predict how much of each I will need, then see how accurate I am. It runs fine doing this.
