Using higher octane than recommended in a car?

John’s question:

“Most cars have fuel type of regular or premium. In what situation or what kind of car uses plus(octane- 89)?”

Answer:

Most cars are made to run with regular gas. ONLY cars with high compression engines or superchargers or turbochargers HAVE to use premium gas because they need high octane gas. IF lower octane gas is used, engine damage and poor performance will follow. SO, if you’re buying a car, see what kind of gas it uses and get a regular one IF you care about money.
