Reply With Quotein the owners manual it says 89 for minium octane. but i always go with 91. or the occasional 100gas outhere is $2.30 for the good shit (91)
I have a 4 cyl. I was putting 89 octane fuel, but here in Miami gas is expensive, so I am putting 87 octane fuel now, but will like to know what is the recommended by mitsubishi?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(darylvia)</div><div class='quotemain'>here is 87,89 and 93 octanage</div>
whats the prices?
i would assume its the same as here,(45 min north of miami) and its 87-1.91, 89- 1.96, 93-2.02
here is more expensive. 93 octane is more than 2.05 for sure. Thats why I will like to know what is the recommended for the galant. I heard it is 93 octane.
i use 93 im from chicago so gas is around 2.25 for premium i believe in the 4cyl. its 87 (RON) and for v6 its 93(RON) if im not mistaken
Well I have a 4 cyl, I had been looking online but can't find it

Apparently you haven't been looking all that hard.
Posts #4 and #5 in this thread, and post #13 in this thread both answer your question, and both threads were within the first 10 results of a search for "octane".
about 2.50 for 89 where i am in the bay area
Regular (87) unless Premium (92) is required which the I4 does NOT require Premium.

"Are you tempted to buy a high-octane gasoline for your car because you want to improve its performance? If so, take note: the recommended gasoline for most cars is regular octane. In fact, in most cases, using a higher octane gasoline than your owner's manual recommends offers absolutely no benefit. It won't make your car perform better, go faster, get better mileage or run cleaner. Your best bet: listen to your owner's manual.
The only time you might need to switch to a higher octane level is if your car engine knocks when you use the recommended fuel.
Unless your engine is knocking, buying higher octane gasoline is a waste of money."

why are u using something that isn't regular grade gas in your car on a slightly modified i4?
4cyl 87 octane and 6cyl 91 octane. Higher octane on either car is a waste of money. You don't need to go higher unless your engine is geting detonation, you are boosting or running high compression. Read the link that clone2020 posted.

i know. i get cheveron with techron. cant i spend MY money on MY galant the way i want to?
clean your engine? slower burning rate?where did you get this from? Octane is "the numerical measure of the anti-knock properties of motor fuel" it has nothing to do with slower burning or cleaning. But you're right, it's YOUR money.
