Octane for a 3.2 V6MagicRat 06-05-2009, 11:09 AM I have recently started driving a super-low mileage '99 Concorde with the 3.2 liter V6. (22k miles, been in the family since new) Can I get away with 87 octane regular fuel, or will I definitely get better power and mileage with 91 octane premium? For this car, is it worth the 14% extra cost to use premium? Thank you. AWP9521 06-05-2009, 10:52 PM There should be a sticker on the inside of the fuel filler door saying what type of fuel is recommended (Or the Owners Manual is still with the car), but I believe 89 octane midgrade is recommended, you can use 87 but if you hear any preignition happening (detonation, spark knocking, etc) I would go back to the recommended fuel. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
