What happens when regular fuel is used in a 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora instead of recommended premium fuel?
I've been a gear-head (racer, collector, etc..)all my life and have never really known different fuels to cause a problem, other than pinging, on newer cars. Until now, that is. I had been running the lower octane fuel in the Aurora then decided to begin running premium. After the first two tanks there was a noticeable difference in performance, smoothness, etc. Also, the fuel mileage picked up almost 2mpg. This car is one that definitely needs premium fuel and I'll never put the lower octane stuff back in it.
Answerit will more than likely PING when accellerating under load.if you mix fuel grades it should be ok. i run reg. all the time.no problem.

What happens if you put regular unleaded instead of premium gas by mistake?
If you accidentally put regular unleaded gas instead of premium in a vehicle designed for premium fuel, the car may experience a decrease in performance, such as reduced power and efficiency. In some cases, you might notice engine knocking or pinging due to premature ignition of the fuel. However, if it's a one-time mistake, most modern engines can handle the lower octane without significant damage. It's best to refill with premium gas at your next opportunity.
