Come on...its a specialty sports car, at least give it some nice gas... If this were some run of the mill Honda or an "average" car, then yea giving it "average" gas would be fine. But it isn't your average car... Just spend the extra few dollars (if that) per fill up and get Premium...
Even some "average" cars have engines designed to run on premium.

Wow put freaking premium in the gas tank the car deserves it, if you can't afford the gas bill then you shouldn't have thought of that before you bought the car. There are plain BOLD letters inside your gas door telling you to use premium, your manual says use premium, what other reminders do you need! I aghast too!!!

Poor car.

A premium sports car deserves premium gas. If you can't afford a measly few more pennies for the right gas, then don't buy the car in the first place.

well it's your car if you want to treat it badly and it up then go for it, but don't complain if your engine starts to mess up down the line.
