Premium Gas?
I have a '16 SS. Do you guys bother with premium gas?

I only use premium but if you want to use regular go ahead. It's your car.

close this thread.
do a search. you'll find literally a hundred identical threads already. absolutely nothing productive or informative will come out of this thread. Just a repeat of the same argument for it, and the same arguments against it. Nobody will be convinced they're wrong, nobody will be convinced both sides are right. |

Bothered to pay a lot of the money for the car, so figured I'd bother to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer.

If you can't afford to feed it Premium fuel then you purchased more car than you can afford to operate. The LT1 needs 93 octane in order to deliver the 455 HP & 455 TRQ. Anything less and you're not going to get that out of it.

Is 93 readily available? I haven’t seen any in Phoenix.

Not only do a search on this topic, but also read the owners manual; "93 octane RECOMMEND" not ONLY or SHALL or MUST.... It's only recommended -but I would be in the camp that you should. As said here, the full performance numbers will not be achived with anything less. But I too cant find anything over 91 here either.

At high altitude, I think 91 is the equivalent of 93, at least what I remember living in New Mexico back in the day at 6000 feet...

If you go to Denver Colorado, you won't find 87 Octane, you'll find 85 instead for example. |
