Any problems running regular?

Okay, when i bought my car they told me to run nothing but premium, does rotaries need supreme? It costs 20$ just for a half tank of gas with supreme.....that's ridiculous! Is there any problems with regular or no???

87 is best for the rotary N/A, but I would recommend a decent quality fuel. Shell or Chevron.

Yeah regular is fine. $20 for a half tank is normal though, a little more than $40 fills me up.

87 is reccomended for N/A, absolutely no reason to run any higher. Do a search and you can read several discussions about it.
