The best advice is to read the manual. There may also be a sticker on the gas door indicating the required fuel. The E refers to ethanol in the gasoline. The second number refers to the percentage of ethanol IN the gasoline. I am not too sure about these numbers. I am away from the car as of right now. But I recalled seeing those numbers vaguely.
You do not have a flex fuel vehicle. You can use E10 or E One more factor-you have a high-output turbocharged 4 cylinder, which is another reason to use premium. Does this mean E10 or E15 is premium gas or regular? E designates the percentage of ethanol blended in to the gasoline. Octane is something different.
You need to be putting the 93 octane in there, and it needs to have a maximum E rating of You presumably spent a lot of money on this car. Do you really want to put that at risk by not reading the manual to learn how to maintain your car correctly? Some states 91 will be the highest available.
I put the Chevron Techtron additive in every once in a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am a nonmechanic and don't understand what the difference is. I understand premium is for higher performance cars The IS has a high reving engine.
Because of this, the combustion chamber is hotter than most conventional cars and a higher octane fuel is needed to reduce pre-ignition. You could use a lower octane, but you may experience a little less horsepower and possibly knocks and pings upon accelleration.
That is just my take on basic auto mechanics. I'm sure there will be more posts to follow from others. If you do not buy this fuel add, use the highest you can; but it would cost more in the end.
