Is Premium gas a must for TURBOS ?

Post by volvoaddict007 »

TRIPLE THREAD ALERT !!! :!:

The author of this thread is totally confused as to where to place this discussion. Yet he feels it is without a doubt, THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION EVER ASKED in the history of Matthewsvolvosite... and perhaps the history of all forumns, everywhere in the World.


So he has placed it here as well as the 850 and General Discussion sections: .



On my last trip back to K.C. I had to get gas at a station that sold only regular.

I never heard a single ping and I DO have excellent hearing so I 've been using it ever since in both cars. With my license in jeopardy at the moment, I keep the car under 80 and am usually around 65.

Another thread mentioned something about Cats not doing well. That thread also mentioned running low on gas was hard on a Cat?

I'm pretty easy on both of them but have my moments at the lower speeds under 80.

Is anyone able to set the record straight.

Opinions as well, are always treated w/ kindness, speaking for myself. :)

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
