jimmy544 Champion Author Boston Posts:4,088 Points:650,930 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: May 4, 2013 10:36:37 AM Ignore jimmy544 Report Abuse I use regular in all of my cars including some old Volvos that were designed to run on 97 octane unleaded. They run pretty well on regular 87 octane so I do. I ran several tests for a couple of years and there was no significant difference in mileage to warrant the premium price. The only difference I noticed was a slightly smoother idle speed.
