Which gas quality should I get?
Recently bought my 09 RA, and I was wondering which fuel quality to get? The manual says Premium, but I asked the guy who sold it to me and he said that the middle quality works fine. What do you guys think?

I get 93oct here. If 91 is available where you are, that'll work fine too. Plus, you can use GST's basemap for the 91oct gas.

^ +1 the higher the better. Just tune it if you go above the 93.

Manual is the bible for your car, not retarded sales men.. ( dunno if you were talking about lower then 91 with him)
Yes, run premium.
Question tho, Why would you wanna run cheap **** gas in your new car?
Wouldn't you wanna treat it right and let it drink the good stuff?
Weird.

i would also recommend a good tune if you HAVE to run 91.
even tuning for 93 would be good...but not really necessary...

The highest octane you can get, e.g. 93 or if not 91.
Pay the extra 10-20 cents a gallon.

Round here, price diff bet 87 and 93 is like 30 cents.
Price dif bet 91 and 93 is like, 2-3 cents. Not worth it.

Salesperson also said the 4b11 was twin turbo too right? Twin-scroll = twin turbo? Right?

There are some people that put 93 octane fuel in their naturally aspirated engines 'because it says premium on it so its better for the car'. Yeah...not when the car is a 1.8L civic or 2.4L corolla or 4.7l chevy suv...
This is not one of those cases - you should put premium in it. It is a
performance engine with high compression that is a fraction of the size and has more HP than some V8s, even in the crippled ralliart form. Using the higher octane will give you better performance in a turbo charged engine...and no engine knock!
If 93 octane costs 20cents a gallon more than 89octane, and you get 20mpg - your paying 1 cent per mile - it's nothing...if you are concerned about the cost of gas do a lower speed on the highway each day will reap benefits in higher MPG...I find 58mpg is optimum....or as people annoyingly say - buy a prius not a turbo charged rally car 
But the manual says you can put in 87 in an emergency, so go right ahead, its not my engine
