The 2008 Cadillac Escalade should be filled with premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 for optimal performance. Although lower octane gas may be used in most cars, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to prevent the engine from underperforming. Using a lower grade of gasoline could potentially result in reduced engine performance and a quicker accumulation of impurities in the combustion system. The fuel filters may also become clogged more easily, leading to difficulties starting the car and causing rough operation, especially when idling at a stop sign.

    The 2008 Cadillac Escalade requires premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or above. You can also opt for regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher, but it may lead to slightly reduced acceleration and a faint knocking noise known as spark knock.
