WOW! I paid $2.64 and I felt outraged. We had gas below $2.50 for a long time recently.

..... I never touched 87 when I fill up my own cars, even my old AE92...
but to tell you the truth from my experience... I like the 91-93 octane from Shell or Chevron on the freeway, but 89 I think is the best for city driving... Oh yeah, my tC is running on 87 now and its an auto-mall brand... I'll try 89 then 91 when the meter hits near "Empty", its tank is still full and I haven't drove it far yet, only about 80miles and I got it when it has only 2 miles... then I'll tell you the difference!

ok i got to add sumthing here.. first of all i been thru a few cars and going to premium give you not just 3% increase on mileage.. you get a lot more. id say close to 10% and thats measured on a cavalier..which i borrowed for 2 weeks and my celica as well which i had for 6 years..and using premium is cleaner than regular gas..now going to 92 or 94 octane which i have tried as well.. not much difference on mileage compare to premium but then again going higher octane really requires adj ur timing to about 10 -15 degree adv. then ull have better take off..and the rules of engagement is adj ment need the feel as well.. makes sure ur engine is not knockin' other wise ur too advance. retard bit by bit..

You run premium in your Yaris sewing machine motor, it will get worse milage, it will produce less power, and it will create more emissions, and burn dirtier. Leave the Premium for the cars that are engineered for it, high compression engines, higher performance cars....premium is not for our Yaris...save your money. Come on guys, get real! |

does premium in, say, Chevron gas, have more cleaning additives?

?????????
our yaris can run 87 octane or more obviously higher the octane the cleaner it is..it doesnt mean you cannot use more than 87.. its saying the lowest grade you can use is 87 but it does not limit it to 87..and i will guarantee you that you ll get better mileage on premium compare to regular..its jsut the matter of you spending a little bit more for premium.. go with experience and youll see..spend 40 buck or fill up the same liter regular compare to premium and youll see that marcus is right.. oh yah by the way sum cars cannot take 87..most honda is premium and UP!

yeah, i've always wondered that too, but seeing how Shell, Chevron, and the other companies that say they have these "cleaning additives" perform better than those el cheapo gas, i slowly started thinking less about it.
