My friend recently bought a mini Cooper and he is not sure if this type of car requires premium gas to perform better or if regular gas is alright. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks for your answers!|||All modern Mini's require premium gas.
The standard Cooper has a high compression engine, which requires it.
The Cooper S uses forced induction (turbo or supercharger) and required it.
Putting regular in a Mini will cause you to use MORE gas, which defeats the purpose. The car's computer will retard the timing (pushing it out of tune) to prevent knocking on regular gas. That will consume MORE gas.
It's not a performance question really.
A tank of premium will only cost about a dollar more in total, at the pump.|||recommended and required is premium gas.
Regular or midgrade gas would void the warranty when the car breaks down.|||Read the owners manual. It will say for sure. It will be under specs %26amp; capacities. |||gas-X|||midgrade
