depends on which ECU you're using. a chipped ECU depends on the tune. No tune = problems even with premium.
Stock P72 should be ok-ish. It would be better to go with mid grade.

Seafoam it. FTW. or take it to the shop and do a motorvac. It cleans the combustion chambers and cures idle problems due to carbon build up.

you should be running premium as it states in the manual. you might get detonation.
