TLX type of gas

debbie757

I am very interested in getting a new TLX the sales person said it will run on regular gas although the brochure says premium is recommended. I know there are not that many cars out yet but has anyone used regular gas in your TLX?

This article will tell you the pros and cons. My feeling is that most owners who check in here (eventually) will wind up using premium gas, especially right now since gas is so "cheap".

Save Money and Stop Buying Premium Gas

Thinking about my original answer some more, my intent could easily be mis-understood so I removed it.

If you don't need the performance that the TLX offers, I'd get an Accord...

Personally, if I'm paying for a car that has the ability to utilize premium fuel for maximum benefit, even if that octane not required--well, then, I'd use premium fuel. Why diminish the car's potential? If you don't need to experience the car's full power capabilities, then why buy it?

I agree for sure, but perhaps there is something about the vehicle itself that is most attractive to some without looking under the hood.
