Could be tuned, and a bad one at that.

You are wasting your money buying premium. I had three Infiniti's beginning in 2005 and used regular 87 octane in all of them. The thousands of dollars that I saved over more than 17 years enabled me to purchase my latest vehicle that requires no gas and is much cheaper to operate.

I get your point though, I think I would have saved around $3600 with 87 octane over 15 years. I just think there are a lot of variables involved, and I'm comfortable with my choices.
