Here's why you might need premium gas in a car:
* High Compression Engines: Some cars, especially those with turbocharged or supercharged engines, have high compression ratios. Premium gas has a higher octane rating, which helps prevent knocking or pinging in these engines.
* Manufacturer Recommendations: Always check your owner's manual. It will specifically state the recommended fuel type for your vehicle.
* Engine Damage: Using lower-octane fuel than recommended can lead to engine damage in the long run.
To give you a better answer, please tell me:
* The specific model of your car.
* Whether it has a turbocharger or supercharger.
Once I have this information, I can tell you if premium gas is necessary for your car.
