Should I Use Premium Gas for My Vehicle?
The short answer is to check with your owner's manual and see which type of gasoline your vehicle requires. Most cars operate on standard, low octane gas, also known as e87. However, some high-performance vehicles like sports cars that have higher engine outputs will require high octane or premium gas.
High Octane vs. Low Octane Gas
If a vehicle requires high octane gas, then it is important to use it as low octane gas will impact performance in a negative way and could even be damaging to the engine.
There's a misconception that high octane fuel is better, and it must be better because it's more expensive. In this case, it's not true. If a vehicle is not engineered and designed for high octane fuel, it doesn't benefit it at all to run high octane fuel and, in some cases, even gives you worse mileage and performance.

You are crawling through Cleveland traffic on a July afternoon. The sun hits your windshield, the cabin heats up, and just when you need relief most, your AC turns lukewarm at the red light. Then it cools again once you are moving. Frustrating and all too common. Here is the good news. We diagnose and fix this exact problem every summer at Weber Automotive. I am Bryan Weber, and our team has a simple way to explain what is happening and how to get your cool air back. Why Cold Air Turns Warm at Idle Your air conditioning relies on airflow through the condenser, which sits at the front of your vehicle. While you are moving, natural airflow cools the condenser and helps produce cold air. When you stop, the system depends on an electric cooling fan to keep that air moving. If the fan does not run at idle: Airflow across the condenser drops Pressure in the AC system climbs The vents start blowing warm air In some cases, the engine temperature can also creep up This is one of the biggest reasons AC feels cold while you are driving but warm at a stop. A Quick DIY Check You Can Do Safely If you are comfortable taking a quick look, try this: Park safely, set the parking brake, and pop the hood. Start the engine and turn the AC to max. Use a flashlight to look toward the radiator area. Keep hands and tools clear of moving parts. The electric cooling fan should start running with the AC on. You should see it spin, hear it, and feel airflow. If the fan does not run and yo

If a seller will not let you take a car for an independent inspection, walk away. We have even told shoppers that a free car would be a bad deal, because it needed that much work. When the average new car tops $50,000 and the average used car hovers around $30,000, a smart inspection is not a luxury, it is protection. The Problem: Big Investment, Little Protection Most used cars are sold as is, which means the risk sits squarely on your shoulders. There is often little to no warranty, and cosmetic shine can hide expensive mechanical issues. That is exactly why we offer a thorough pre-purchase inspection, so you know what you are buying, what it needs now, and what it may need soon. At Weber Automotive, we are committed to helping you avoid surprise repairs, negotiate with confidence, and make a purchase you can feel good about. What Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Includes Our used car inspection is built to uncover the truth before you sign: Multi-page, detailed checklist of all major systems Clear documentation with pictures and video when helpful Prioritized findings, what needs attention now and what is coming up Written estimates for any recommended repairs A report you can take back to the dealership or private seller The service is about $210, and in our experience, 98 percent of the time we find more than that amount in needed work. The inspection often pays for itself in negotiation leverage, or by saving you from a money pit. How It Works With Dealerships an
