You should be running your car on premium anyway.

At least 91 octane.

i don't see why anyone would want to use less than premium. yes, you CAN run less than premium, but not for nothing, if you can't afford that extra 2-3 dollars per fillup, you probably shouldn't be modding your car.

I watched a Stage 2 balt with a cat-back put down 205 to the wheels on 87. Its a nice way to lose 50hp.

Doesn't the manual even mention to use 91 or higher octane with the SS/SC?

maybe the manual in canada is different but it says 91 is recommended, not required. it says putting in 87 will result in a decrease in performance.. but its not gonna kill your (stock) cobalt

but its been said already, why would you want to put lower than 91???
