Fuel for 2006 Sonata V6
 
Who can tell me? Does the 2006 Sonata V6 require premium fuel??

Nope. Good old regular with an octane rating of 87 will do just fine.

It's important to NOT use higher octane fuel in an engine rated for 87
octane, as it will not burn efficiently and will leave deposits in the
engine.

hills when hot and if I use 89 or 91 it doesn't ping...so far with 110,000

If it pings on hills, that indicates that you need higher octane fuel
than whatever's in the tank. Unless it's always pinged on regular, it's
quite possible that the pinging is due to carbon buildup on the valves
and cylinder head(s). Carbon deposits create hot spots and increase
compression. Higher octane fuel is required to compensate for those
conditions.

Modern engines as in the Sonata have computerized control over ignition
and valve timing and automatically retard the timing if pinging occurs,
so you'd never even know it's happening. The engines are designed
specifically to run on 87 octane fuel and using higher octane is not
good for them. Higher octane fuels burn more slowly. If they're used in
an engine that's designed for faster-burning, lower-octane fuel, they
don't burn efficiently. Inefficient combustion leads to deposit buildup
in the engine. With modern engines and modern fuels, the worst thing you
can do is to run premium in an engine designed for regular. There is
absolutely no advantage to doing so. It cruds up your engine AND it pay
extra for the fuel that's doing the damage. It's your basis lose-lose
situation.

I dunno, I think running your engine without oil is a much worst thing
then running in on premium fuel. :-)

Well, it's more a lie of ommission. They do have additives in their
premium gas, but what they're not telling you is that they're in their
regular gas, too. The old mechanic's solution "run a tank of premium
through your engine to clean it" simply doesn't apply anymore. Modern
fuels do an excellent job of keeping engines clean. That's why fuel
additives - other than those designed to remove water - are largely a
waste of money. You can remove water from your tank using denatured
alcohol that's a fraction of the price of Drygas and similar products.

This is also true of oil additives; they're unnecessary and often
counterproductive. Modern oils contain finely-tuned additive packages
that are based on the needs of the engine. Dumping a bottle of "Amazing
Snake Oil" into your crankcase is not only not helpful, it can disrupt
the balance of additives and result in lower protection for your engine.
Some, such as those that contain Teflon (which Dupont say IS NOT
suitable for use inside an engine) can actually cause blockages in the
fine oil pathways found in newer engines, resulting is serious engine
damage.

The bottom line is that the manufacturer of your engine has invested
tens of millions of dollars (or more) in developing it. They KNOW what
it needs for fuel and lubricants. Follow their recommendations and you
can't go wrong.
