Learn more about what type of gas your car takes with the service team at Spitzer Motors of Mansfield CDJR near Ashland today.

What’s the Difference Between Regular and Premium Gas?

Before you consider premium or regular fuel, you should ask yourself, “What type of gas does my car take?” Refer to your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendation for your model. The difference between regular and premium is the fuel octane levels, which are typically 87, 89, and 91. Standard engines usually take regular gas, which is an octane level of 87.

So, what kind of gas does your car take? It really depends on your engine type. If your vehicle has a high-performance engine, then you should consider fuel with a higher octane level. Vehicle designs for exceptional performance offer turbocharged or supercharged engines, and those engines will use fuel with octane levels of 89 or 91, and using regular gas with these engines can cause damage.

Can You Put Premium Gas in Any Car?

Yes, you can technically put premium gas in any car, but it really wouldn’t do anything if you have a lower-grade engine.

What Kind of Gas Does My Car Take?

Still not sure what kind of gas your car has to have in order to perform at its best? If you have trouble locating this information within your owner’s manual, here are some points to keep in mind:

  • If your car is a luxury or high-performance model, it probably takes premium fuel.
  • If your car is a more mainstream model, it probably will do fine with regular fuel.
