| RE: Gas: Regular or Premium?
We have had tons of topics about gas. What it comes down to is what kind of car you are driving. Yes you can put regular in a car that says premium only, the computers in the cars can adjust to the lower octane but you will lose power and possible efficiency. It is best to use premium gas in your car especially if you have a warranty if something goes wrong they could try and blame it on the gas you use since the owner manual sates premium only. Some also argue in the long term it can do damage and cause premature wear on the internal parts of your car.
Conclusion modern day computers can adjust for lower octane and eliminate premature ignition. But you will lose HP and you might drop down on MPG. Your driving a mercedes it only cost about $2 more a tank to put the premium in. |
