I can't imagine this is true. If the compression ratio is > 9:1 the car will benefit from premium gas; if it's 9.5:1 or more then premium gas IS required. Premium gas will NOT harm any car; don't believe the dealer. 83 Octane is really low, 87 is minimum in my opinion. At 83 any car worth its salt will ping under even moderate load which is not good for the engine. -- Remove "NOSPAM" from address for direct e-mail ####### # #### # # # # # # # ## # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ## # # #### # # #
