Hello!

This answer is probably already on here somewhere, but I have heard so many different things I just wanted to hear your opinion!

I recently bought a Cobalt SS (2007) Supercharged, and the man at the dealership said I only needed to use regular gasoline, but a lot of people have been telling me that I should be using a higher level.

What do you think? I really love my car and I want only the best for it.

What level Octane to use?

Hello!

I just recently bought a Cobalt SS Supercharged (2007) and the man at the dealership told me I only needed to use regular octane gasoline, but someone told me today that I should be using a higher grade.

I did some research online but I have heard different things.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

I have only had it for less than a month, using regular, so I will change to 93 right away!

And thanks for the warm welcome, I am posting some photos now :)

Go by what your car manual says. Regular won't hurt but SS needs more kick lol

Yeah I JUST checked the manual and it says 91. I wonder why the car dealer said regular was fine? Maybe he really didn't know much about that car or supercharges.
