2001 Galant V6 - premium fuel required?

I was about 24 hours away from a test drive of a 2001 Galant ES V6 at a local dealer when I stumbled across some older reviews of this car that mention the premium gas requirement of the engine. Thank God for the web, because I had no idea. I have two questions for any Mitsu experts



- first, is premium actually required (what happens if you run regular unleaded in it?) and two, is there a way to tell if the former owner ran the car on premium or not?



Any advice/suggestions are much appreciated.

It isn't required. The data you may have seen was referring to the previous turbo version that hasn't been used in years.

Hmmm. No mention of a turbo at this link:

...but it DOES mention the Galant V6 and "required premium fuel."

I guess the only way to know for sure is to get hold of an ES Galant w/V6 owner's manual....unless there are any current Galant ES V6 owners out there who could do it for me? :)
