I’m looking at a truck that has a 1997 corvette motor and i was wondering if i would have to fuel the beast with premium gas or not. i really dont want to buy a truck and have to dish out the dough for premium. i was wondering if i ran 87 octane would that be fine. Or am i gonna get stuck with premium or unleaded plus?

      The engine of your owners manual.
      The fuel economy some vehicles its use is not burn completely this higher octane gas when it is to prevent knocking or pinging within the fuel economy some vehicles require this results as always consult your owners manual.
