I've always run premium in all my vehicles.

And unless the manual demands it, you're wasting money. Vehicles designed for regular get no benefit at all out of running premium.

Y'all are giving me gas.
Less yakking. More range time.

I'm actually well aware of that.
I never claimed it was smart, lol.
Actually I have a tune on my truck, so one of the reasons I run premium is to help prevent pre-ignition.
And my car required premium.

Pretty sure Dan's owner's manual demands it, lol.

Eh, I used to have a VW Scirocco with a 1:10 compression ratio that did need premium, and the wife always glared at me when she was around when I got gas.

 

[TheDan]

Well, there's recommended and then there's required. It's worth noting that when the manufacturer recommends premium for the US market, they really mean 91 octane as that is "premium" in many states. If the car is stock and naturally aspirated you can put 89 in it with no issues, and probably even 87 as the engine management will actively de-tune to what's in your tank (assuming it was built in the last 15 years or so).

Some cars definitely do require it, tho...

But you said, "all [your] vehicles".

She never dug the Dutch Oven . . .

Yeah she always points all the dash vents she can reach at herself and then tries to turn down the A/C because she's cold.

zx9r's need premium

I know, and I do.
Just giving the reason I do for the latest vehicles.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Yes, as did my CBR1000RR.
And I ran it in all the bikes before.
I had to run race fuel in my GSXR600.

ETA: As did the Porsche.

Are they also giving you anal sex?

Are you talking about refueling the vehicle or eating at Taco Bell?

My wife: and climate control:
75 degrees in winter and she's freezing.
75 degrees in summer and she's too hot.
