Regular/Premium/Super

the higher octanes burn cleaner, but are usually designed for sporty car engines. they may give you some increased power as well. i usually put in the Plus grade for my V-6 truck engine...it seems to drive more to my liking than the regular unleaded.

Actually, the higher octane helps prevent detonation (pinging) which is a bad thing in an engine. If your vehicle specs regular, you'll just be wasting your money buying higher grades. You won't be able to notice ANY difference. Now, if you've modified your engine, you MAY need to step up the octane...

Cheers! Rocket
