What Octane gas?

Just ordered my 2ss LS3 and was wondering what octane gas is required?

E85.




But seriously, the highest readily available (93 in most states, 91 in areas with higher elevations)

You can use 87 and above, but premium is recommended for best performance.

RTFM !!!

First thing I do when I get a new car is I read the manual cover to cover. I can't understand why people don't.

Correct.

And if you're gonna use low grade fuel in the SS, just get the V6. Because that's about what you will end up with.

I'll glance at a manual if I need to. I think if common sense is exercised, it's fine.
