What Fuel's best for the SS
#31
As mentioned by Chevymgr, no way would I run regular or even mid grade 89 in a turbo engine labeled for premium recommended. The pressures are so much greater in a forced induction engine that a slight ESC hiccup that might have no consequences in a normally aspirated motor can have damaging consequences in a turbo'd motor or a super charged motor.
FWIW I'll do some 91 and 89 octane experiments and determine my $$/mile cost to determine which fuel I'll use. With the 'vette using Valero 87 octane I only drop one mpg, no knocking, and find it a lot more economical with driving around town.
