I was browsing thru the owners manual and discovered that they recommend 91 octane for the 2.4l motor.............being the cheapskate that I am, I was wondering if anyone here has been running no-name 87 in their car?
I'm almost ready for my first fill up

Crowbar, I haven't got my hhr yet and dunno if I want the 2.4 or not. I am astonished they can run a 10.5 compression motor on your "cheapest crap you can find". Do the sensors and microchip just detect the crummy gas and adjust the spark accordingly? Do you EVER hear any knock at all?

I'm on tank 4 now. 2 have been 87 octane regular and 2 have been 91 octane supreme. Can't say I notice any difference in performance or mileage but time and testing will tell. Next tank will be 89 mid-grade.
