Thanks!

Being a previous 4cyl turbo owner for 10 years I can say without a doubt YES! Don't even think about putting less than 93 in it!

Rule 1 of turbo cars. Don't run cheap low octane fuel
Rule 2. See rule 1 If you do run low octane fuel, stay out of boost. Just my .02 |

I have the same 2.0 T in my 2015 Malibu, and this is what the manual states.
If the vehicle has the 2.0L L4 turbo engine, use premium unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM specification D4814 with a posted octane rating of 91 or higher. Regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher can be used, but acceleration and fuel economy will be reduced, and an audible knocking noise may be heard. If this occurs, use a gasoline rated at 91 octane or higher as soon as possible. Otherwise, the engine could be damaged |
