I run 87 octane even in the mountains to our cabin. No problems on highway or backroads, on ramps offramps. It does not have body sway or instability. It's a great ride, go test drive one.

Re: highway and road use

yep. i took a 1400 mile trip to tenn and back. not one problem. a bad enough wind will blow any high profile vehical around a bit.

and as NEC said.... You can run regular gas. i have tried them all (grades of gas) and there was no real difference. I know some say different but that is my experience and i have 8000 miles now
