When filling up the Nissan Versa, it's recommended to use regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Although premium gasoline is an option, using it will not provide any extra benefits for the Versa's engine, which does not require it due to its compression ratio. Therefore, it's best to stick with regular unleaded gasoline to avoid wasting money unnecessarily at the pump. The Nissan Versa cannot handle Flex Fuel, so it's important to steer clear of E85 and lower octane gasolines to prevent reduced fuel efficiency and potential damage to the fuel system and engine. Opt for regular 87 gasoline, neither lower nor higher, to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

    I'm interested in getting a 2014 Versa that is flex fuel. I saw a 2015 Versa with a blue silver flex fuel badge on the back, so it seems that some Versas do come with this feature. Have a great day!
