Unless he forgot to mention it, when the saleman was explaining things on my new 2011 Camaro 2SS, he never said anything about using premium gasoline. So, I kept using the "regular" 87 octane. I was reading my owner's manual the other day and in there it recommends "premium" with a 91 or higher octane rating.
My Camaro doesn't "ping or knock" using the lower octane, So, my question is, is the higher octane really necessary?
