most economy cars are designed to use the lowest octane gas/fuel available in their respective markets. our super is rated at 92 & premium at 95 octane. so it is safe to use super even with basic mods ie- intake, exhaust, stage 1 cams. use premium when you increase compression(10-11.1), stage 2-3 cams, nitrous & turbocharging 8-) .

super just runs so lazy, I cant handle that heavy gas, I use premium all the way.

Yes, you can use gas in this model but its only suitable in plain roads its not beneficial in hilly roads because it gives less pickup in hilly roads as compared to in plain roads. Rest you will know all by reading blogs by experts on <a href="http://www.tolmol.com/bp/camcorders/sony-camcorders.htm"> TolMol</a>

Truth is, unless you doing work on the engine to justify premium, you just spending extra for no gain.. If an engine is optimised for super and you paying extra for premium without further mods, you will receive 0 benefit at all

Up in the US, premium fuels come with extra additives to clean the engine etc (eg. Shell V-Power, Chevron Techron etc) but here, its just the extra 3 octane you paying the money for..

Try both back to back, see if you feel a difference, good to go! Unlikely a car will knock on super anyway because of anti-knock sensors

check the gas lid. If you see use unleaded gas then you good to go with super. If however you see RON 95 or higher then you have to use premium. My gut feeling is that super will work and this will no doubt result in a certain degree of unresponsiveness that will not want you to give anyone a "run" on the road. However, if you are practical like myself with my 2.0 L Stream, then go with super since the savings is phenomenal.
