In my experience I have found that with lower octane gas sometimes you could get some knocking noise when you ask the car more power going up a hill. The performance also changes , and sence you may be used to a certain performance from your car, you may hit more on the gas pedal to compensate for that loss...and that transfers to lower gas mileage. So you got to ask yourself...how much are you really saving by putting lower octane gas??? Besides, the difference in price in a full tank of gas between 87 octane and 93 octane is about $2 more. It's not much really! people thing that the save more but do the math and you will realize what I did a few months back.

with fuel injection, our 4 bangers only need 87 octane to get around. I'd go premium if i had the v6

my I4 has been drinking 93octane ever since I got a hold of it. means the new engine I put in has had nothing but 93. When I tried to use 87 even 89 the engine wasn't performing as smooth or as responsive as when its on 93.
