RE: Gas types

it is best to use the premium gas with a turbo engine to prevent any future engine problems I myself use sunoco 92 up in ontario we are paying pretty close to 1.00 a litre

I know, but he was asking if he has to use 91! so i assumed it wasn't modified. Run 100 in a standard car and you're just wasting money.

RE: Gas types

run 91 it is the difference of not going out to eat once a week the amount you will be saving, plus you can run into some major repairs the will be at least double what you would have saved...
