Fuel

Fuel tank capacity ___________________ 16.05 U.S. gal.
Gasoline Octane
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a
posted octane of 87 or higher.
Although not required, use higher octane fuel for optimum perfor-
mance - 90 octane for the 2.0T engine and 93 octane for the
2.8 V6.
Gasoline with a lower octane rating can be used, although not
lower than 87 octane. However, engine performance will fall
slightly and heavy loading and laboring should be avoided. For
further information on fuel, see page 158.
