Even if the van has milage estimates based on using unleaded premium, do you think it would function ok.... I mean couldn't the electronics compensate to some degree, with regular unleaded, or would damage occur ???

Using a lower grade fuel can (but doesn't always) cause a motor to knock. I'm not sure what other repercussions may be.

Most modern vehicles incorporate a Knock sensor in the Engine block which retards the ignition upon sensing any knocking, so I doubt if it would be problem using regular fuel.

Hello Pepper,

I disagree,I think you would do damage and quite quickly if you choose to use on a regular basis standard fuel over premium if premium is what's required

Great picture, how do you do that?.

Yeah, you may have to resize it. Just use the browse button and pick a picture from you computer.
