Re: Octane Rating for 2008 Turbo?
Those who say you need premium are wrong.
For '08 there is no GT turbo, just the 180HP "turbo lite". It is designed and tuned to run on 87 octane regular.
I have the same engine, well over 60,000 miles on rotgut regular and it runs fine on it.
The confusion stems from the high output GT turbo which does need premium.
