You guys give it a try and let me know
Interesting article:
"Premium, in fact, sometimes is worse fuel than regular. It resists knock because it's harder to ignite than lower-octane fuels. As a result, some engines won't start as quickly or run as smoothly on premium, notes Gibbs, the SAE fuel expert.
High-test does have a potential fuel economy benefit. It is slightly denser than lower-octane gas, meaning there's a little more energy in a gallon. But the small difference is hard to measure in real-world use, and that same density can contribute to undesirable buildup of waste products inside the engine.
No data show that engines designed strictly for regular run better or longer on premium."

Similar thread, great article (linked in the address attached) and interesting comments... 91 vs 93 octane
The 5% horse power loss is too great for me to suffer.

Re: You guys give it a try and let me know
What gets me is a friggen guy at Nissan makes the following statement regarding premium fuel yet the GD manual for the coupe says it highly recommends permium only. What gives?
"There is no gain. You're wasting money," insists Jim Blenkarn, in charge of powertrains at Nissan in the USA.

I've heard that b4 that regular fuel is faster burning, but premium is slower and more controlled and higher in octane and anti-knock.
Higher compression engines (10:1 and above) need high octane juice.

American mini-vans require you to use Regular fuel. Premium fuel is not WORSE for American mini-vans (Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Chevy, etc.) than Regular fuel is. Weird, huh?
Either way, I'm happy giving my baby premium and I will continue to do so.
