The type of fuel is relative to the particular application. Turbo cars are a very broad subject. Some types of European cars be they turbo or naturally aspirated need a minimum of 95 RON unleaded fuel to be used. This is because these engines are generally more powerful or have a better compression ratio, so the fuel needs to ignite or explode at a later stage to prevent the car from pinging (losing performance). The higher the Research Octane Number (RON) the harder it is for that type of fuel to ignite. You'll be able to find out the required fuel for your car either on the inside of your fuel filler flap or inside your owner's manual/workshop manual.

Does premium gas extend the life of a car?
The engine maybe but not the whole car. If you get a "knock" in the engine when you use a lesser grade fuel then you need to use premium. Also some manufacturers suggest premium and some folks claim a tune up will last longer with premium. Personally I have never used premium in anything except a couple of really high performance cars. For cars that I used on a daily basis I never found one that I couldn't run on regular gas simply by adjusting the timing. Newer cars the computer will automatically adjust the timing for you. With premium gas running anywhere from twenty to forty cents higher a gallon....it just isn't worth it.
