The owners manual says you can use regular but it will hurt performance - I believe there's a sensor that changes the timing to prevent detonation, it's just that you will lose the performance.

Yes Howard, the knock sensor will retard timing thereby lowering the total power output of the engine. The link kobalt supplied explains it all. I had read all this stuff before but haven't seen it explained so fully and simply elsewhere.

"U.S. gasoline pump price highest since mid-June
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The. nationwide average price for gasoline rose closer to $2 a gallon the last week and diesel fuel hit a new high for a second week, the government said Monday.
The pump price for regular unleaded gasoline averaged $1.938 a gallon, climbing 2.1 cents to the highest level since mid-June and up 37 cents from a year ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly survey of service stations."
I got a bargain yesterday, $1.85.9 from a local station. Most are $1.95 to $1.99 for premium.
