Regular, Mid-Grade or Premium gasoline?

My first tank is about to be Empty, just wondering what kind of gas to fuel up with. I have a 2013 Hybrid SE model.

The Owner's manual calls for 87 octane fuel. In most areas of the country that is regular.

At high elevations regular may be less than 87 octane so use whatever is 87 octane.

The only thing using anything higher than 87 octane does is empty your wallet faster.

What about 100 percent with no ethanol? you can't find it many places, but some say it's better?

It is better as it contains more energy per gallon, but will cost more so you wont be getting any financial benefit from it.

Local station by me sells 89 as regular, so I had filled up there once, the rest of the fills were from my regular BP station with 87. No discernible difference between the 89 and 87, so unless you can get 89 for the price of 87, dont bother, not worth it.
