    I drive a 96 corolla. I used unleaded gas from the time we got it in 1996 until it turned 6 years old when I switched to premium. I've been thinking of switching back to unleaded because of the high gas prices but a friend told me that older cars are supposed to use premium gasoline. Is this true?

    You can simply switch to unleaded gasoline or whatever is the recommended fuel type for your car. Your corolla should run fine with unleaded gasoline. It would probably run fine on E10 gasoline aside from the slightly reduced fuel mileage.

    Its best to consult your car manual to check what octane rating it needs.

    Gasoline fuels are all unleaded now, it's just a matter of octane level, from 91 (or is it 87?) to 95 octane.

    Do I need to empty the tank or I could mix the unleaded with premium? I'm supposed to have my weekly full tank later kasi.
