my father has bought a 90 corrado g60 and it had about 1/3 of a tank of gas that had been sitting for about 1-2 years. the gauge on the cluster say unleaded fuel only. it does have a supercharger on it ( not sure if that is common or not i dont know much about these cars ) and im wondering if it would be bad to run premium unleaded gas in it???? or if it needs to have a lower octane level????

You need to run Premium unleaded (92 Octane or better) in any turbo or supercharged application to avoid detonation.

The 1990 comes stock with a supercharger also known as the g60. You can run regular gas and it would be fine although I do recommend running premium it just runs better. Its a fun car smiling smiley
