Hi there,
I can't see any information for the import Fit Hybrid, but most models of the NZ new Jazz list 91 octane fuel, however this is not hybrid specific as there were no NZ new Jazz models listed in the hybrid.

Did you get an answer to this question? I bought one and started using 91 octane and the engine pinked badly in low gear and on the hills. I took it to a mechanic who said use a higher octane and see if that fixes it so Im using the first full tank of 98 and the pinking has almost stopped so will try 95 next time and see how that goes. I need an original manual for it if anyone has one for sale as it didnt come with one

Hi there,
I have found information for the 2014 NZ new Jazz Hybrid is listed as using 91 on a spec sheet I located. Still nothing on the Fit.
