Added benefits of running premium include a cleaner engine and improved performance.

Unless you actually do the math with your own vehicle, you might be fooling yourself if you just assume you are saving money by using regular.
Well we can have this debate until the cows come home. This topic has been beat in the head for quite some time now,the best thing to do is use what ever fuel you think it runs best on. If 87 works for you,use it. If 89 does,use it. etc.I think its time we put this topic to bed. We certainly will not all agree on this subject,thats for sure.

If we get a ping problem in our dealership we take a sample and get it tested, if it comes back as crap gas, we tell them to get lost! If you wanna roll with the big dogs, get the mpg outta ur head, trade it in for a kia
i don't think you been reading the post at all, we are talking why are we getting so low MPG on 350, none of us are complaining about premium gas price is too high, i'm trying to find out if there are any defect parts in my 350 that is making it get only 10 mpg. and where are you from? i like to get that cheap premium . in new jersey premium are 40~60 cents over regular.

All the gas at the pump is the same gas. The only difference is the octane points and whatever other cleaning additives that the brand puts in. All brands buy their gas from the same place.

I'm getting roughly around 15.6 mpg with an unchanged airfilter and all winter tires right now. So if i do change it i expect to see a huge difference. BUT 10 mpg?????? something seriously wrong dude.
