2012 Buick Regal GS: First Drive
Articles
February 05, 1523
We're even more certain now that we've driven the 2012 Regal GS, a car that's made some of our High Gear Media staffers positively asthmatic with anticipation. We came to GM's Milford proving grounds for laps yesterday in the Regal GS, and we're glad to report we can breathe better now. Buick's taken just four years to get from the days of Terrazas and Rainiers to where it is today: a power trio that includes the tasty Regal, the luxe LaCrosse and the sumptuous Enclave. It's the Regal that convinces us most convincingly, that this iteration of Buick is going to matter.
Q:
1999 Buick Regal GS requires premium gas. Can I use a lower octane and supplement with Octane boost?
I just bought a 1999 Buick Regal GS, which is supercharged. It requires premium unleaded gas. I was curious if I could buy 87 or 89 octane and add a bottle of octane boost. This might be cheaper considering the price of gas these days. Any thoughts?
(asked by Winner winner chicken dinner! on February 26, 2008)
A: Octanes are suggested for optimal engine performance. You should use what it calls for to maintain a healthy motor.
"Many high-performance engines are designed to operate with a high maximum compression and thus need a high quality (high energy) fuel usually associated with high octane numbers and thus demand high-octane premium gasoline.
The power output of an engine depends on the energy content of its fuel, and this bears no simple relationship to the octane rating. A common understanding that may apply in only limited circumstances amongst petrol consumers is that adding a higher octane fuel to a vehicle's engine will increase its performance and/or lessen its fuel consumption; this may be false under most conditions — while engines perform best when using fuel with the octane rating for which they were designed and any increase in performance by using a fuel with a different octane rating is minimal or even imaginary, unless there are carbon hotspots, fuel injector clogging or other conditions that may cause a lean situation that can cause knocking that are more common in high mileage vehicles, which would cause modern cars to retard timing thus leading to a loss of both responsiveness and fuel economy. This also does not apply to turbocharged vehicles, which may be allowed to run greater advance in certain circumstances due to external temperatures." (answered by Susan B on February 27, 2008)
A: i would stick to the correct gas to prevent any problems. or trade the car in. you can try and get buy with regular gas unless it starts to ping/knock. also it will have less power on regular gas

Q:
why does the turn signal shut engine off on my 1997 buick regal GS?
i have a 1997 Buick Regal GS 3800 engine that is not turning on and when it did i would put the turn signal right or left and it will shut the engine off immidetly . I had the ignition switch replace about 6 months ago by the dealer so i think thats not the problem. any advice plz post because many people have the same problem.
(asked by luis r on December 06, 2009)
A: it might be your alternator, becuz i have a 97 buick le sabre and my car kept cutting off after i had a jump, i thought it was my radiator and it wasn't thought it was my battery so i bought a new and it still did the same thing then i got a new alternator and that fixed my problem, because when ur alternator is weak it takes the juice from ur battery and shuts the car off (answered by sapphiregirl89 on December 06, 2009)
