YES! you must put premium gas in your car if you have any concern for the longevity of your engine. The engine is tuned to accomadate the longer burn time of premium gas and when you use regular, it causes misfires. Trust me, spend the few extra bucks, its worth it.

ive been filling 91 oct. since the car was new. if you really add up the difference from reg-prem, its only a couple extra bucks to fill the whole tank, no big deal.
