i see this argument all the time over at maxima.org. the owners manual 'recommends' premium, for best performance and mileage. but the car will run on regular and a lot of people don't care about performance so when the question is asked "what grade should i use" it always starts a flame war.
personally i'm of the persuasion that you get out what you put in. and if you have modded your engine or bumped up the timing like some folks do, you can see a fairly significant increase by using the reccomended grade.
i agree people are cheap on gas but most of those people are dumb and don't realize they can actually be spending more money by not using the recommended grade.
....don't be bitter pack, pissing on this man's cake cause yours has fewer candles is ridiculous. and you're not going to change my mind so don't even try.
