I'm not remotely rich enough to even to begin to afford anything where Premium is going to even begin to make a difference and Plus is literally just a straight up scam.

regular

many years ago I stopped at a gas station that had premium on the left button and regular on the right. they tricked me, and made me wonder how many other people over the years paid way more for gas than they should have

My car says premium is required (not recommended) so I feed her the good stuff.

I found a gas station in Missouri that was so old that you straight up had to pay cash <_< There was no modern day pay options on the pump

I hope people here realize that if your car says regular 87-octane is good, you get no benefit in adding mid (89) or premium (91-94) octane. But if your car says it needs mid or premium, you better put mid or premium, otherwise your car engine might start to knock and cause more issues.

One of my cars says 89 is preferred, but 87 is also acceptable; the manual says you can expect less power and less efficiency with 87, and I actually see this difference when I drive it. And since I get gas at Costco, where mid is unavailable, I put premium in that one (premium at Costco costs less than mid at normal gas stations anyway). All other cars I own currently requires only 87, so 87 it is.

Nothing noticeable, lol. It was a pick up that didn't use diesel or anything like that.

Higher octane gas resists pre ignition, or knocking. So if a car says to use a higher octane than regular, it's a good idea for the engine's health to do so.

Conversely, putting a higher octane than recommended offers little if any benefit, besides maybe more detergents.

I'm no car expert but someone told me it wasn't a bad idea to use premium once in a blue moon. Something about burning off residue in the lines or some shit

Not that I do it though. I'm cheap.

Did put premium in once because for some reason the pump wouldn't let me choose anything else and it wouldn't let me back out of the transaction. So I just put like 5 bucks in and rolled on somewhere else.

I go with regular. That is what the manufacturer recommends for my car. Premium would be a waste of money and potentially harmful over the long term.
