I stuck to regular. Only because it is new. I might switch to premium after the second oil change.

Manual says 86 or higher. Why switch after the 2nd oil change?

Idk.. No reason really. Just don't really feel like running it super hard until it's good and broke in. I figured high test would make it run hotter.

Regular is 87 and plenty if it isn't sitting for weeks at a time as gas begins losing octane at about 2 weeks. The higher the octane rating the more the gas resist ignition so regular or mid grade at most. Anymore you may notice a power loss or engine ping/knock.

I would definitely do non-ethanol either way. I've heard the ethanol gas is bad for any small engine.
