Quick look at the owners manual should tell you what the fuel requirements are. If it states it was designed to run on premium, then that's what it needs to be fed.
New, it was quite an expensive car, so premium fuel probably wasn't going to be turn potential buyers away. Unless a car's manual states it runs on premium, but can manage on regular, which I believe the Cadillac Northstar engine does, I wouldn't risk it. Not sure about gas where you buy it, but here, most premium is all gas, where the lower grades are cut with ethynol (sp). It doesn't have the same bang for the buck per gallon, so when you factor all things, in, I'm not sure how much cheaper running regular really is. I personally just follow the manual. Run premium where it says to, and regular in the cars that were made for it.
