is it bad to put 87 in or should i be putting 92 in my car. i know everyone will say put 92 but is it bad to put 87.

 

Read your gas cap..........atleast 91 Octane

 

Actually, that's not true. He has a First Gen CL which only requires 87. I was putting 89 in my CL (when I had it) in the summer and 87 in the winter and I never had any problems. Actually, I could have sworn that it ran better on the 87 sometimes!! You should have probably posted this in the First Gen forum since the new CL and the First Gen have different requirements.....

 

yeah true, just thought it was sort of random talk, oops. thanks though.

 

No, it is random Car Talk and stuff, but most people won't even read your sig before answering and tell you that you should be putting 93 in your car. Then you'll be spending the money on 93 for no reason!! Trust me, I put 92 in my car (the CL) for a year before I decided to drop down to 89 and the car felt better with the 89!!

 

Yes, 87 is the way to go with the 1st generation CLs, no need to waste your money.

 

thank you fellas, hey juniorbean can you close this thread for me, thanks
