do i have to use premium gas or not in my ss/sc

 

Yes You Do

 

ok thanks someone told me i could use mid grade

so whats the best gas to use i use shell v power and one a month i put octane booster in it cleans everything ive actually seen about a half boost increase seriously but is that good

 

Actually you can use whatever gas you want. Depending on temp, elevation, climate is if your car is retarding timing because of knock. I know people that get away with 87 on the stock setup. But once you jump to stage 2 you cant use 87 or 89. Its recommended to use 91, your car will run a lot better.

 

lemme get this straight...u buy a ss/sc and ur worried about an extra like 2$ a tank or something...plz go buy a 2.2 and never buy a car that needs 91 + ever again

 

lol. My car has never seen 87 or 89..

 

He never said he was worried or couldnt afford a few extra bucks. Someone told him he could use 87 and he was just asking.

Running 87 or 89 will most likely reduce your timing because of knock which will affect your performance.

93 all the time for my rides!

i was talking about origional poster mainly...allthough temp and altitude doesn't have to do with which gas u use ..if it says 91 is minmum recommended then do urself a favour and most likely thousands of dollars later due to a rebuild by spending an extra 2$ for the RIGHT gas

why even ask though if you know it should take premium

its like asking someone else if im hungry when i already know the answer

 

mine hasnt either and im not complaining about the gas prices i was just wondering

 

Actually temp would have something to do with a Force Inducted vehicle. If its hotter out the IAT2 temps will increase drematically. Therefore, resulting in the shitty 87 or 89 gas preigniting itself.... ping or knock! So the car will sensor that and retard the timing. Please tell me how the Temp. out does not affect a vehicle and the **** gas you put in it?

 

hence the reason why u don't use the 87-89 in the first place like i was saying? and yes i know the ping or knock

 

ss/sc and ss/na only takes premium ..its in the handbook

 

You just said temp doesnt have to do with the gas you put in. I was giving you an explaination.

 

Hella 2.4 premuim grade 91 girl ;D
