Question Does anyone pay for premium gas?

Was just wondering – with gas prices so outrageous, I wonder how many people purchase premium gas

I do. Not only is it specifically recommended for the car, but I can definitely feel the difference in terms of performance if I fill up more than once or twice with regular unleaded.

Most of the time I use the mid-level one, between regular and premium.

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

DAMN, I am glad I am down here in texas. Gas prices are still bad but I think better then most other people in the country. And you can tell a difference the way the car preforms on better gas.

I don't waist the money.Premium is not that diff from reg.Just by driving no one can tell the diff.It is all in your mind.Kind of a placebo effect.

have to use premium..car requires it (supposedly)

but if you think about it, it's only about 20 cents more per gallon. that's under $4 per fillup. why risk f'ing up the car over $4?
