Does the 2011 cadillac cts only take premium gas?

YES. If you can't afford the correct fuel for the horse why did you buy it?

I think its Mid-Grade.

The minimum octane rating is on the gas cap door.

Follow what GM recommends.

While the engine's knock sensor will detect when you use a lower octane fuel than what the engine is designed for and retard the spark plug firing to compensate, it's not a good idea. This is because it immediately does the following:

-lowers engine output and

-decreases fuel economy ( thereby erasing some of those saved pennies ).

In the long term, continued use of the incorrect octane fuel can actually harm the engine.
