The owners manual will address this question. Generally it is OK if you don't accellerate hard and you keep your RPMS under 3 or 4K. Everyone likes to believe all kinds of great things about premium gas. The only difference is it resists knock more. But the truth is these threads are worse than oil threads. Read the manual. All cars are not the same. If you like to rabbit stomp all around then run premium.
