I didn't find anything in the search. I'm just wondering what octane rating the 20VE uses. Thanx!

Premium fuel because the compression ratio is high. out here in Cali 91 is the best we have unless you pay more for the race fuel at the pump.

i tried running 89 in mine once as a test and it backfired a lot and didnt really like it. i run 93

it depends on what kind of tune. i think you could get away with 89-90 if your not running a very aggressive timing curve. but im running 92+ because im running quite a bit

The Nissan requirement is premium unleaded

It was only released in japan, their premium unleaded is 98?

Ultra in nz is 98, but 95 is still ok

first you need to check all these numbers to see if it is quoted as RON, MON, or (RON + MON)/2, then you stand a chance of using any of those mythical numbers above.
The rating you can run depends on the engine tuning as well.

Exactly. 98 in NZ/ZA/AUS/UK is like 93 in US.
