You won't blow up if you run Regular in it, but these engines are made to run on Premium.

See, Premium fuel is burnt almost completely, and thus brings greater power and fuel economy to your engine. This, in turn, will make your engine last longer.

If you use Regular on an engine designed to run on better stuff, you will get less power, worse fuel economy, and lower engine life. Plus the engine may knock and be rougher than usual.

You're basically saving $5-10 per full fuel-up. However you will burn it faster, and cause long term damage. Not worth it at all!
