What is the 2021 Acura RDX fuel type?

I recently bought a used 2021 Acura RDX for an awesome price. It runs really well so far, but I always want to get the best performance possible, regardless of the cost. What’s the fuel type for the Acura RDX?

While the 2021
Acura RDX
can run on 87-octane regular unleaded gas, Acura states that the preferred fuel type is 91-octane regular unleaded gas. When you put 91-octane in your RDX, you should find that you get a better acceleration response, slightly improved fuel economy due to better firing, and less chance of engine knock.
If you want to get the best performance out of your 2021 Acura RDX by using 91-octane unleaded gasoline, you’re obviously going to pay more at the pump. Offset some of that additional cost by reviewing your current car insurance policy and shopping around on the
