Default Question..

This question has probably been reiterated a million times over on this forum site but I have a mac and the search bar doesn't work too well with my browser (and no, I don't want to download firefox).

Anywho... what type of gasoline could you fill an s2k up at minimum with? .. Meaning.. I know it says "Premium Unleaded" but could I just use regular?... I don't care about the slight loss of power.. it's just for driving my ass from point A to point B and back to point A.

Anyone? anyone?

So if you use regular, it's not damaging by any means right???

PLease use at least 91. The S deserves it. You are only saving a buck or two downgrading anyway so why do it?

regular will literally damage the car. you can search by going to the bottom of the thread page and typing in your question - browser irrelevant

I second that. Never put in anything lower than 91, it will damage the engine.
