3rd Gear
Try to use 91 octane at the minimum, 93 if you can find it. Lots of threads here re: brands of gas that you can find via Search. Personally, I put faith in the big names, but favor Shell. I've heard good thing about Chevron too which would be my second choice.
Here's a thread that has some good secondary links too.

I have used the 10% ethynol for over 30 years with absolutely no problems. I know that some gasoline distributors have increased their percentages at times, but still I have had no problems. The 15%, I don't know about, but from what I have heard the only cars that are suppose to use that are the alternative fuel rated vehicles. E-85 type vehicles. It would be a benefit for them, as the E-85 does cut mileage down to about 70%.
I'll be using 91 octane 10% when I start buying gas for my JCW.
