Does the 1985 GMC G15/25 Vandura 2WD need premium gas?
Every trim takes regular — no premium needed.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.3L 6-cyl, Automatic 4-spd, RWD | REGULAR | 15 | $4,150 |
| 4.3L 6-cyl, 3-spd manual, RWD | REGULAR | 15 | $4,150 |
| 4.3L 6-cyl, 4-spd manual, RWD | REGULAR | 15 | $4,150 |
| 5.0L 8-cyl, Automatic 4-spd, RWD | REGULAR | 14 | $4,450 |
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.
