How Do I Know What Fuel My Car Takes? You’ll find the minimum octane rating in the owner’s manual, and cars that require premium fuel will usually say so on or near the gas cap, and sometimes even by the fuel gauge. If your car specifies premium fuel, use the good stuff.
What happens if I don’t put premium gas in my car?
Using regular gas in an engine that requires premium could void your warranty. If the octane rating is less than 91, you could damage the engine and may void your vehicle warranty. If heavy knocking is heard when using gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher, the engine needs service.”
Can I put premium gas in my car if I use regular gas?
Typically, “regular” gas is 87 octane, while anything over 91 octane is considered “premium” gasoline. A spokesperson with the American Automobile Association told FOX Business that it is safe to use premium fuel in your vehicle even if it takes regular.
Can I use regular gas in my BMW?
Most modern BMWs can run on regular gas, thanks to more electronic components, but this can place stress on parts including electronic knock sensors in your engine. These electronic components allow the engine to detect the type of gas it’s running on and adjust performance accordingly, avoiding damage to your engine.
Premium gasoline is necessary only for those vehicles whose vehicles say “Premium Fuel Required” behind the fuel door. If your gas brand has higher levels of detergents or cold-weather additives in its premium fuel over regular, it may keep your engine cleaner, but it won’t necessarily run better.
What happens if you mix regular and premium gas?
Can I mix premium and unleaded gas? Yes, drivers can mix the two types of fuel. The combined gas types will result in an octane level somewhere in the middle — something the vehicle “will survive,” according to The Drive.
