What type of Gas are you using?
Just wondering what grade of gas are you guys using?
I used just regular gas ?
Should I use just a middle grade ?
Do you think I could damage the engine by using just regular?
Thanks

Use premium, you don't save any money using regular because of the poorer gas mileage. Not to mention the reduced power.
And yes, you can damage the engine because with regular gas in a higher compression motor, the fuel may detonate prematurely causing serious issues.

There are differ octanes for the grade - deppens where you live and who you buy from.
In Texas prem is 93 and in Calif its mostly 91.
I alternate mix 93 Prem with 89 Plus (therefore 91 effective).
Ethanol "E10" is the "open" issue with any grade and can/will
effect you adversly depending on its purity and water absortion.
There are also "Winter" and "Summer" blends.
