Subject: Re: Regular gas in a 9.5?


But the bottom line going back to the earlier post that some folks are missing the point of. You can use lower octane gas but you will get less power per gallon/liter and you will need to push on the pedal more for the same output. More gas per mile, less mpg. As gas prices rise (at least in the USA) the actual per gallon difference between 87, 89, and 93 octane seems to remain the same. That means that on a percentage basis, the cost of using premium is on a steady decline. Since the percentage difference in mileage is not changing, the cost and advantage of using higher octane gas is increasing. Whether or not it makes sense to use premium for your driving style and conditions is something you need to test over multiple tank fills.
