Premium is an average of $2 to maybe $2.50 per tank more. (i.e. a drop in the bucket, a trip to vendo land, or half a fast food meal )
With premium fuel you get better gas mileage and performance. Even if you only get 1 mpg better efficiency running the "proper" fuel grade that equals .5 to .7 gallons less fuel for the same mileage per tank. That's is $1.25 to $1.50 saved.
So how much money are you really saving running the wrong grade fuel? Maybe 75 cents a tankfull. Yippee... If you drop 2mpg you are losing money!!!
Don't even get me started on the BS ethanol or re-oxygenated crap that is a steaming load of beaurocratic nonsense. That is ALWAYS a lose, lose proposition. Power, mileage, emissions, and cost!
