Default Re: Type of gas

The GT does require Premium gas if you want to take advantage of the full 220 hp, but can use middle grade and even regular if need be. The computer will compensate for the lower octane, but your HP output will be degraded. If you hear any kind of pinging from the engine, go up one grade from what your using.

The 180 hp Turbo was designed to run on regular gas and putting anything higher is a waste of money. If and when you add Stage 1, then you should start using Premium for the added hp.
