Don't use premium unless the vehicle's computer was tuned to run *Premium fuel only* at the factory.

your computer will adjust the timing as close to pre dentanation as it can with the fuel you have in the car.test have proven the fact that any car will produce less power with regular than with premium.

Yea, me too... My informal tests (I.E. how it feels to drive and mileage per tank) seem to show better power and mpg...

It's a proven fact that Ford TSB's had to be released because they figured out that long cranking times during startup was because owners used premium in cars designed to burn 87 octane. Talking about effecency, not power.

'08 Sedan 5spd man I was getting 42/47 in the summer. Now in Michigan 0-15F for 2 months, I am getting 35/43, so obviously, a much bigger hit when I make short trips (4-10 minutes) since the engine doesn't warm up as much, but still good on my long highway trips (4-6 hr travel times).
