It depends on the model. Look on the dashboard by the fuel gauge, or inside the fuel door, to see if there is a label stating the required octane. The owner's manual will also give this information.

Cars made these days usually specify "regular" or "premium", which typically means 87 or 92 octane (or 91 in California). The middle grade is not used as a standard by the manufacturer.

Most cars, such as passenger cars, minivans, SUVs and trucks (non-diesel) will use 87 octane. The only time premium would be required would be if the car is a sports car or an exotic, such as a Toyota Supra.

Incidentally, putting premium gas in a car made for regular does not improve its performance and is a waste of money.

What octane should I used for a V6 3.8 engine?

While some purists argue that the higher the octane, the better it is for your engine, studies have shown that octane differences are too small for most engines to make any difference at all. Thus, the lowest octane for sale is usually adequate. However, some high-performance car manufacturers require you to use a higher octane for warranty reasons, so consult with the manufacturer of your vehicle to make sure you put in the minimum octane they require.
