The 2016 GMC Terrain runs on regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Fortunately, this type of fuel is typically the most affordable and widely available option in the US. Using lower octane gas in vehicles requiring premium fuel can lead to irreversible engine damage, but driving a more efficient vehicle like the Terrain can help avoid this issue. If the filter in the tank becomes dirty or blocked, it will require replacement, which can range from $9 to $53 per new filter available at various automotive parts and accessories stores.
