It says 91 but you can put in 89, 90 since the knock sensor will adjust
the timing automatically for knock. If it still knocks then increase the
octane by a notch. Not every gas station are the same. If you're climbing
a steep hill then go with 91.

Do your math to see which saves more fuel. I doubt there's a huge
difference.
