Naturally Aspirated, (aka, not forced induction, not turbo-charged, not supercharged).

Do a search for Shell V-Power. There is a very informative thread somewhere on the forum that provides what seems to be authentic information on gasolines and additives. The primary poster recommends Shell V-Power which according to him has a good suite of additives. But really, any clean gas of 87 octane or higher will work just fine.
