It sounds as though someone installed a Cobra gauge set or gauge faces...

Correct, unless the owner before you had a tune in it for (91 or 93) based on where you live and he changed out the gauge cluster.

take a picture of your gauge cluster and post it. I bet you have a mach 1 or cobra cluster.

Even the aftermarket gauges say premium unleaded, I know the one AM sells does. Yeah, unless it has be tuned for premium it is just regular 87.
