Welcome to the site. I split your post to a new thread and put it where it belonged. You can do a search on fuel octane and find lots of information. To get to your question - It is best to use 91 or more octane in the SVX. If you use lower octane, the mileage goes down and you could damage the engine. The exception to that is that if you install a performance chip, it will allow you to use a lower octane and the engine will run just fine. Good luck.

I run 90 octane because that is all that's available, but I dump booster in there.
Run 91 or better if you can. Thanks for reminding me to enable that feature on the 1v4. Been meaning to do that for a while.
