High compression is just that, a knock sensor to retard the timing will help but the mechanical atributes of the engine don't change.
I bought my crossfire to drive it like a sports car so I'm sticking with a minimum of 91
Regular may not hurt if you are going to baby your car around but then what was the point of buying it?
Dittos: If I wanted to use regular, I'd kept my Honda Insight. As for saving 20 cents.
If you get just 2 miles per gallon better with premium, it cost you the same! And if you think gas is high now, wait until next year! It's only going to go higher! So buy it now while it's cheap!
