Manual says use 98 RON. Since pump gas has a typical sensitivity of 10 the (RON+MON)/2 octane rating recommended by the manual is:

93 Octane

Then the manual goes on to say that it can compensate for lesser gas, sorry CA owners...

Again, age is just one factor, but it is pretty valid to say dont give 99% of 17 year olds an Evo. Not just because they are generally too inexperienced or willing to take risks, but also because they wont be able to appreciate the car's potential, not having driven lots of other cars before.

Having said that, there are exceptions. A German guy who lives in my town is 21 and he drives Formula One cars. Must have started with Go Karts when he stopped using dipers and I am certain he was a much better driver at 17 than most of us are now.

It was just a word of caution, really. I dont want to read about teenagers injuring themselves in Evos on here.
I agree 100%. I was lucky to have a father who knew how to drive aggresively and taught me well.
