Haha, right? I think having fun on the road is more about driving style than fuel type! But still, curious about fuel consumption trends.

I’ve been doing some research on this topic. The Equinox 2.0 is designed to run on regular gas, but using premium may give you some performance benefits. However, the cost difference can add up over time, so it’s worth analyzing your driving habits.
That’s true! I think if you’re not pushing the engine to its limits, sticking with regular is probably the best choice. The minor performance gains don’t justify the higher fuel costs for most drivers.
In my experience, using premium gas provides minimal performance improvements compared to the increased cost. The Equinox’s turbo 2.0 performs just fine on regular fuel. You can save quite a bit by sticking with regular over the long run!
Exactly! And when you consider current gas prices, the savings from using regular can really stack up. You could use that extra money for other maintenance or upgrades.
I’m curious, does anyone have data or personal experience to back up the claims about performance gains with premium? Is it worth the price?
Yeah, I wonder the same thing! I’ve heard some people say that premium is better for long-term performance, but how much better are we talking about? I’m reluctant to pay extra if it’s minimal.
Funny you ask! I suppose it depends on how much you value an additional 5-10 horsepower. If you’re racing to the grocery store, maybe not so much! Weigh your options carefully.
I’ve read that using premium can sometimes lead to longer engine life, but the initial savings from regular fuel might outweigh that benefit for most drivers. It’s a bit of a gamble.
That’s a good point! Sometimes we focus too much on performance and forget about the immediate financial benefits. Regular gas gives peace of mind at the pump!
