Default Premium Gasoline in the XJ?
So my girlfriend just put $30 worth of premium gas into my XJ. Will that harm her?

Thanks guys.

A higher grade of fuel will not harm an engine, it will not help with horsepower, it will not help with mileage. Higher octane just burns slower than the 87 octane, our 8:1 compression engines will never need to burn premium.

It will only harm "her" if you beat her for wasting money....
