[QUOTE="1 BAD 9T9, post: 270047, member: 3083"] I have watched several videos and a national TV feature where it was shown there was NO POWER or FUEL ECONOMY improvements using premium gasoline over regular. The major difference I believe is the octane rating using additives which reduce detonation and preignition. I am no expert but I understand that the engine electronics and sensors can detect early engine knock and adjust things to correct it regardless of fuel. By the way I ran my 1999 convertible with 10.1:1 compression ratio from 70,000 kms to 106,000 kms on regular 100% of the time with no problems, using several different brands. I did not baby the car but also did not drive it really aggressively. Even some 97 octane in the southern and central United States. Only thing is I used Shell premium, with no ethanol, and added fuel stabilizer, for my winter storage. I am sure others will have more comments on this, both positive and negative. Let's hear.
