That's correct, 87 octane all the way baby

The base/XR still has good get up and go, and under 6.2k, the XRS isn't really faster than the base/XR (when the XRS hits lift... well, that's a different story, lol).
Frankly, I like the feel of Toyota's 5MT more than their 6MT, and the base/XR gearing leaves little to be desired - it's a very fun ride.
