Ihsan - You should consider getting an owner's manual. It will show you some necessary stuff, like how to open the gas fill door if the lock fails, and a few other tips.

I use premium fuel in three of my Volvos because they run better and get better mileage on premium. One does not.

I reccomend that you try a few tankfuls of each grade and check your mileage. We note the odometer reading on the slip each time we buy gas. This makes it easy to check your MPG on a regular basis. I don't go crazy over changes in mileage, but I do watch trends. Two years ago we drove 4994 miles out to Saskatchewan and back in two weeks. When I plotted my mileage, one tankful was 5 MPG less. That tankful was regular gas I purchased by accident.

For instance, two weeks ago, my cruiser's gas mileage dropped from 10-11 to 5-6.
That car is going for a check-up this week!
