I am sure that there are people that will vehemently flame me for saying so, but yes..... Get out the owners manual turn to page 132 and see if it says to use 87 octane, or if it doesn't say "87 octane or higher". .... The same people that complain about the performance of their cars are using regular grade fuel and in some cases non synthetic or heavier than the recommended 5-20 wt oil..... I fill my car to the top to accurately check my fuel mileage and always average over 37 MPG unless I am driving fast and hard in city traffic. I am only getting around 33 at the moment because I am having too much fun with my new super charger but once I can control my impulsiveness I think I will be bringing it back up closer to what I was getting.... If you are now using regular,smell the oil dip stick and you will find that it smells like gasoline., that is because when the timing is retarded the fuel doesn't completely burn and gets into the oil by washing down the cylinder walls and causes premature wearing or the walls and rings...... Be kind to your ass for it bears you.
