"2008 Mazda CX7: Fuel Recommended"

2008 Mazda cx7 Silver Front Look

Does the 2008 Mazda cx7 require premium fuel? On their website, it says premium is “recommended” but I’ve read elsewhere that the older models required it and the newer ones do not? I love everything about the car (especially the deal they offered me!) but premium gas is almost $4 I’m SO not paying that much more than the cost of regular. Thanks.

Answer: The vehicle does NOT require premium fuel However, the engineers designed the vehicle based off the specifications of premium fuel so you will gain optimum performance and functionality by using it. And Using premium fuel occasionally does more harm than good. You should always stick to the same fuel type consistently. The biggest reason for that is short and long term fuel trim. A vehicle ‘learns’ the habits of the driver and compensates accordingly. Changing the volatility of the fuel makes it harder for the vehicles computer to do its job. So basically, unless your trying to get the optimum performance level out of your vehicle, I’d just buy the cheap stuff. The average person wont notice the difference from one fuel type to the other.
