Proper vehicle upkeep for your 2024 Chevy Traverse means choosing the right gasoline at the pump. You may think that premium gas will get you more mileage or fuel savings, but that isn’t the case for this model. Chevrolet Van Nuys explains how to ensure your car, truck, or SUV gets what it needs.
Does This Model Require Premium Gas?
The 2024 Chevy Traverse does not require premium gas to run. Chevrolet recommends that you use regular gasoline for this model. If you’re choosing among numerous gas grades at the fuel pump, you can stick with regular octanes like 87.
Can I Put Premium Gas in the 2024 Chevy Traverse?
If you put premium-grade gasoline (generally graded 91 or higher) in the 2024 Chevy Traverse, it will still run fine. However, you won’t gain any benefits because its engine is designed for regular gas. You won’t see a performance or fuel-economy upgrade using the expensive stuff; you’ll only waste money at the pump.
Why Use Premium Gas?
Octane isn’t an additive; it’s a measure of a fuel’s combustibility. So, which vehicles will benefit from spending the extra money? While you won’t benefit from using high-octane gas in a standard-octane engine, an engine that needs the higher octane can suffer if you use a lower grade. The Chevy Corvette is a prime example since it requires high-octane gasoline to perform its best.
