First off, yes you can run regular with no problems. Honestly, you probably won't even notice a difference.

Second, your car has knock sensors like almost every car since the early 2000's/ late 90's. It will not let itself "ping" which is the fear when running lower octane. Put it in, drive, be happy. No need to buy cheap, crappy octane booster.

However; you may get lower gas mileage.
