Fuel type is a major consideration for many buyers, especially with the fluctuating gas prices today. A common question asked is: Does the 2025 Buick Encore GX require premium gas? The short answer is no. You’ll be glad to learn that regular unleaded gasoline works just fine.

Recommended Fuel for the 2025 Encore GX

According to Buick’s specifications, the Encore GX’s engines are tuned to run efficiently on 87-octane regular unleaded gasoline.

What Happens If You Use Premium Gas?

While you can use premium fuel, it generally doesn’t provide any significant performance or efficiency benefits in the Encore GX. Premium fuel is not required and may just increase your running costs unnecessarily.

Fuel Economy Benefits

The 2025 Encore GX is already fuel-efficient, with EPA estimates around 30 mpg combined. Using regular gas helps keep your cost of ownership lower compared to SUVs that require premium.

Cost Savings Over Time

Let’s say premium fuel costs $0.60 more per gallon than regular. If you drive 12,000 miles a year at 30 mpg, you’d use about 400 gallons. That means you’d save about $240 annually by sticking with regular fuel.

Why Buick Doesn’t Require Premium Gas

Buick designed the Encore GX engines with both efficiency and affordability in mind. By not requiring premium, the Encore GX appeals to cost-conscious buyers who still want a premium driving experience.
