Does the 2013 Cadillac ATS AWD need premium gas?
Fuel grade varies by trim — see the breakdown below.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L 4-cyl, S6 automatic, AWD | REGULAR | 23 | $2,700 |
| 3.6L 6-cyl, S6 automatic, AWD | REGULAR | 21 | $2,950 |
| 3.6L 6-cyl, S6 automatic, AWD | FLEX-FUEL | 21 | $2,950 |
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.
