Re: Premium or regular....
I run midgrade regular is just to "dirty" as I have heard. My car says it detunes for regular but I will stick with premium or midgrade.

Re: Premium or regular....
I use premium... not by choice. I wouldn't even bother posting as I am once again playing Dr. Frankenthread but the guilt of voting without posting (read: whoring) was eating me up inside.

Re: Premium or regular....
My daily driver and temporary rental car are both getting regular. However, my Stuipdru Forester has a documented intolerance for ethanol greater than 5%, and if I can find cheap gas at a non-ethanol station it gets regular, but 10% ethanol stations means I have to go to mid-grade to avoid knocking... Yes, its that much fun.

Re: Premium or regular....
It depends what type of gas your car requires. My car requires Premium so thats what I pump, I've tired regular before and noticed I got terrible gas millage and the car felt sluggish.. If your car calls for Regular fuel running premium will offer zero benefits and may even cause you to get worse gas millage. Some cars designed to run Premium fuels will either say "Premium fuel recommended" or "Premium fuel required" If its only recommended you can safely run regular fuel with a slight performance loss. If it says its required than you have to bite the bullet and use premium.

Re: Premium or regular....
I daily drove a supercharged Grand Prix for six years and ran premium because its what the car required. I technically could have ran regular and the ECU would have tried to compensate, but it wasn't worth the risk because even though the ECU can try to compensate it doesn't mean I wouldn't have met Chip.
I currently drive a Lancer GTS. It just calls for 87 so that's what it gets. As has been mentioned multiple times in this thread running higher octane than required offers no benefit other than to take more money out of your wallet. 93 does not clean the engine out, nor does it burn cleaner.
