The 2016 Chevy Cruze is recommended to use 87 octane regular unleaded gasoline or higher according to the factory specifications. Contrary to popular belief, using a higher octane fuel doesn't offer any real advantages for your engine or vehicle. While some may claim that higher octane fuel can lead to better gas mileage or cleaner fuel injectors and fuel pump, these statements have been proven to be inaccurate. If you experience hesitation while accelerating or difficulty starting your vehicle, you can consider purchasing a fuel pump/injector cleaner from your local auto parts store. This cleaner can help remove buildup that may be preventing your vehicle from receiving sufficient gas to operate smoothly.
All six versions of the 2016 Chevy Cruze - the L Manual, LS Manual, LS Auto, LT Manual, LT Auto, and the Premier Auto - can be fueled with regular unleaded gasoline.
