Don't know exactly, but with the APC you can in principle use any grade of petrol, but premium grade will give more satisfying performance. This is what I find with my 9000 CSE 2.0 LPT. I find that the engine response is more consist with premium fuel, but regular is OK in 99% of time. Possibly the difference is greater for an Aero. Johannes
