Skyrocketing gas prices have made using premium gasoline less and less appealing. Is there really a difference between premium and regular gas? The service department at Casey's Frontier Chevrolet Of Livingston wants to help you keep your car running on the Cookeville roads for years to come, so we’ve put together the detailed premium vs. regular gas comparison below!
Premium gas is designed to reduce engine knocking by burning at a slower rate than regular gas, but that doesn’t mean that premium gas is automatically better for your specific car. We explain below how to know whether you should use premium or regular gas. In the meantime, here are some of the main differences between premium and regular gas:
The simplest way to end any premium vs. regular gas debate is to check whether your engine is designed to run on premium. There should be a sticker on the inside of your fuel door that says whether to use regular or premium gas. If there is no sticker there, check your owner’s manual. If the manufacturer says to use premium gas, use it by all means. If your car does not require premium gas, using it would be, at best, a waste of money. It will not be more effective at preventing knocking or helping it to run longer on our Sparta roads.
The friendly staff in our Livingston service department is ready and eager to help you with any of your automotive needs. So, schedule an appointment.
