Most people don’t give much thought to the difference between premium and regular gas, but it’s something worth learning about. With that in mind, we’ve put together a quick premium vs. regular gas overview to give you all the information you need to know. Read on to find out more with our service experts today!
Look across the road on your way to work and most of the vehicles you see will be running on regular, and the difference between regular and premium comes down to octane. Regular gasoline is 87 octane, whereas premium gas will usually be 93 octane.
The octane rating tells you how clean the fuel is, and vehicles designed for higher performance generally require higher octane fuel.
Why do performance vehicles need 93 octane fuel? Because they have larger engines, use forced induction, or use more performance features like turbocharging. With the fuel burning a little cleaner, premium gas gives engines a little more power. It’s also worth mentioning that most high-performance vehicles are designed with premium gas in mind, so using it is more of a demand than a choice if you have one of those models.
