ORIGINAL: biackbenz

Just picked up a 2.5 with 5 speed with a full tank of gas from dealer. There are no "premium only" designations on the car and the manual call for ron 95? What am I supposed to use: regular or premium?

Go with regular unless you modify your car

Talk about off-topic! Not even warranted in any way and he revived a thread nearly a month into the grave!

BTW Buck, great idea! I've been secretly washing the car in the back yard, so I'll keep it in mind for the next time we go into a deep drought! It's been raining plenty, so the restrictions have been reduced!

Do not go with regular, only put in premium. thats what is recomended for the X. 91 is what most gas stations here in California refer to as premium. like u sed the manual says 95, so go with 91 or above.

As posted before.......considering the price difference between regular n premium.........use premium. Thats whats recommended and you will notice better performance, acceleration thru the gears etc etc.
Premium! End of
