Here's a question we get all the time: 'Do I really need premium fuel?' π€β½
For most vehicles, the answer is no β regular (87 octane) is perfectly fine. But if your car's manufacturer specifies 'premium required,' using lower-grade fuel can affect performance and potentially cause engine knock over time. 'Premium recommended' means it's a preference, not a requirement. Always check your owner's manual to be sure.
