Does the 1984 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Wagon need premium gas?
Fuel grade varies by trim — see the breakdown below.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.0L 8-cyl, Automatic 4-spd | REGULAR | 16 | $3,900 |
| 5.0L 8-cyl, Automatic 4-spd | REGULAR | 15 | $4,150 |
| 5.7L 8-cyl, Automatic 4-spd | DIESEL | 21 | $3,700 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
