Does the 1985 TVR Engineering Ltd TVR 280i Convertible need premium gas?
Every gas trim of this model takes premium.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8L 6-cyl, 4-spd manual, RWD | PREMIUM | 18 | $4,300 |
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.
