Let's say you drive 15K miles/year. If you get 23MPG that's 652 gallons of gas. If you spend an extra .20/gallon, that's a whopping $130/year you save in initial cost of fuel. You drive a dog of a car, a car that cost maybe $30K and has serious potential, to save $130/year.
Meanwhile, as you've noticed, you've lost power. So, you step on the gas more for the same power. Looking at it the other way, if you get even 1 mpg more with premium, you're roughly breaking even... and you get the car you paid for.
Using regular is false economy, and a waste of your car's potential. Oh... and it's no fun.
