Hi!
I purchased my 2013 CX-5 back in beginning of May. After the initial tank of gas that the dealer filled for me, I have been putting in two tanks of 91 from Chevron. But the last fill up i decided to put in 94. I know the manual says put in 87 octane and up with no more than 10% ethanol. At local gas stations in BC, Canada, only 94 is ethanol free. I thought because of the high compression of the skyactiv-g would perhaps benefit from the 94. Since putting in 91 and 94, I have noticed the exhaust note seems to have more of a "growl" to it compared to the 87 that the dealer put in. Just wondering have other people tried it as well or just the "mind trick" that my mind is playing with me(wow)
Thanks!
