hi I'm new Got a Outlander XLs fully loaded. I full it up with Plus since i got it. i was wondering if it matter if i put reguler in the tank.

 

I don't think it makes a lick of difference, aside from the price. I have actually heard that it can be harmful to put any other type of gas than recommended, even if premium is supposed to be better. I can't say for sure, because I have no knowledge in the area, but you are pretty much just wasting your money.

 

Regular is all the Outlander needs. You're wasting your money.

 

If the manual recomends regular, then do that. If it recomends premium, then put that in.

 

Do a quick search, its been asked a few times already. Just use regular. I have never found anything good about using fuel with higher octane than what is suppose to be used.

 

Yup, always use the reccommended octane. Deviations either way will cause performance and fuel economyloss. And more $$ out of your pocket. Remember cars are computer controlled, and programmed from the factory expecting a certain octane rating. Changing this means the ECM has to adjust for it. And where one adjustment is made, another must be made to compensate for the first, and so on.

 

regular. i tried it with plus and prem. no difference in mpg or performance. just wasting greens.

 

really? I usually fill up with Premium, but sometimes I fill up regular and it almost feelsthat there is difference in rapid acceleration. I like to floor it sometimes

Anyone done real tests?
