Default Question about the gas...

Ok I just went to fill my car up from a half tank and I used the premium gas I didn't ask what the dealership used so I am just wondering if I am supposed to use premium.

Read your manual you'll be amazed when you discover its contents.

I was curious, because I heard someone say they can take regular fuel. I didn't think so.

I believe it's also on the back of the fuel door, and should've seen it when you fuel it.

They will run on regular........for how long......

I had a C5 and used premium 100% of the time. My buddy had a C5, he ran regular most of the time. Couldn't notice any difference in day to day use.

Damn premium is only $1.54, think you would have some common sense.

That's why you need to consult the little book in your glove box. You wouldn't notice an immediate change until your car starts misfiring months later.

YOU can afford the Z car, but are not able to afford the correct fuel for the Z car.

Maybe you can ask your parents for a advance against your weekly allowance.
