Obviously being pennywise is silly.
I would feel comfortable running on regular if no pinging was present though. I hardly floor the car ever so I don't think I'd miss a few HP.
Car ownership isn't nearly that high on a quality used vehicle. I'd be surprised if it cracked $0.30 a mile for me and that's planning for a few unplanned repairs. The savings on mid grade is 0.15 per gallon over premium. That's $2.62 per fill and comes out to .6 pennies per mile. That's about $72 per year at 12K. In the end its only saving 2-3% on my operating costs, but even so, if it doesn't hurt, then why NOT do it?
No pinging yet for me...so am I still doing damage? That's THE question.
