What kind of gas does a Ford Explorer take?
I added premium gas to my Ford Explorer. I usually only use regular-grade gas. Will adding Premium cause any issues? What kind is it even supposed to take? I just assumed it needed regular when I bought it.

You were right when you assumed what kind of gas a
Ford Explorer
takes—it does use regular unleaded gasoline. As for what the consequences of accidentally adding premium-grade will be, you don’t need to worry—there won’t be any significant effects at all. If you had added regular unleaded to a car that needs premium, on the other hand, that would have been a serious problem. Adding premium to a car that takes typically regular, though, that’s nothing to worry about.
I hope that helps! And remember, you can always use
