What kind of gas does a 2021 Hyundai Elantra take?

I drive a 2021 Hyundai Elantra and have only ever used regular gasoline. I sometimes think about using premium gas in the hope that it will up my engine performance but I don’t want to wreck my engine. What gas should I be using?

Premium gas does sound like it would be the higher-tier gasoline quality—but that’s not always the case!
The kind of gas that a 2021
Hyundai Elantra
takes is regular unleaded gasoline with an octane of 87. Any premium gasoline does not do anything special for your engine, so it’s recommended that you stick with the regular unleaded 87 gas.
Plus, premium gas is more expensive and with today’s gas prices, you don’t want to be spending more than you have to. You also don’t want to spend more on your
car insurance
than you have to, but in this case,
