Great question. I was curious as well. Also, do you guys know what octane the dealer put in? My dealer told me that GM pays for them to top off the fuel and they will put "whatever it says inside the fuel door". Since he did not have a V8, we couldn't check. I informed him that premium was "recommended" and he didn't know if that would or would not qualify it for premium.
On a side note, I tend to think he's one of the good dealers out there (not an idiot), as he informed me (without my asking) that they wouldn't put on the dealer sticker and also asked if I wanted the plate bracket mounted on the front. (of course I told him no!)

91 or higher as it is stated in the manual (I'm sure). My 08 HHR SS states 91 or higher so I can imagine even the V6 Camaro will recommend that and for sure the SS.

j/k (only in one fuel tank) 93 around town. Actually, whom ever has one already picked up their Camaro - what does the owners manual specifically state ? 91, 92, 93 ? 87 for trips...lol |
