Does Chevy Engine 2.0t require premium gas
2 Answers
Here is what i found on line... For the LTG 2.0L L4 turbo engine, premium unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM specification D4814 with a posted octane rating of 93 is highly recommended for best performance and fuel economy. Unleaded gasoline with an octane rated as low as 87 can be used. Using unleaded gasoline rated below 93 octane, however, will lead to reduced acceleration and fuel economy. If knocking occurs, use a gasoline rated at 93 octane as soon as possible, otherwise, the engine could be damaged. If heavy knocking is heard when using gasoline with a 93 octane rating, the engine needs service. So, yeah, you can use 87 octan regular in the 2L engine unless it knocks. Your loss in gas mileage might make the savings in buying cheaper regular nothing.
