Is premium gas necessary for the 2003 Mazda speed protege?

The 2003 Mazda Speed Protegé requires premium gasoline.

This is due to its high-compression engine, which is designed to operate optimally with premium fuel. Using regular gasoline can lead to:

* Detonation (knocking): The engine can experience uncontrolled combustion, which can damage engine components.

* Reduced performance: The car may experience lower power and acceleration.

* Increased fuel consumption: The engine may not run as efficiently.

Always consult your owner's manual for the specific fuel requirements of your vehicle.
