My 2005 Owners Manual states 87 octane on page #7. The difference in octane rating will not induce a miss. Octane is an additive that decreases volatility in high compression motors to negate ping (pre-combustion). The higher the number, the lower the volatility. You can spend more on higher octane, but the truth is your GZ is third world transportation that will probably run on lamp oil, hooch, saki, dog shit, etc.

If you are occasionally getting a high speed miss, I'd have the dealer check it out. Be aware that if they can't make it miss, they'll have nothing to fix. You could have short, a bad ignitor, coil, or something as simple as a bad spark plug.

:yes:
