Premium only... Dont run anything lower!

I third this!

A lot of cars say "Premium Fuel Recommended" or "Premium Fuel Required for Best Performance."

However, the SVT Contour says "PREMIUM FUEL ONLY" for a reason!

You can run lower octane fuel, that's partially why there's a knock sensor, but it's definitely only a good idea in an emergency (like if you're low on fuel in the boonies and only 87 octane is available).
