are you REALLY saving money by doing this overall? i dont know... i doubt it. people think they're saving nickles and dimes here and there but still in the red often do to crystal meth

Kenchan is right. I don't get bent out of shape when I stop somewhere else and fill with 93 and spend the extra 1.80. On the flip side, I try not spending more than I have to when possible.

I was more so curious to know if the car adjusted further to 93 octane.

Since the car is mapped for 91 than there is no use putting in 93....unless that is the only one offered. Some people just like to waste money I guess.

Every car that uses premium gas is mapped for 91 from the factory bc it is the widely available minimum octane rating

Oh and the difference between 91 and 93 is more like 5 cents.....so even that annual amount gets sliced in half to 93 bucks and change.

kind of like how some people save $20 a year by not becoming a premium member despite spending hours and hours on this site every week

This isn't really a good example.
Giving $20 to support the forum would be a good thing to do, but it isn't required. I get all the forum I need for free. It would be like someone paying for pr0n when there's so much of it out there for free. Basically, I'm getting what I need without paying extra just like someone who picks 91 over 93 and saves whatever amount of money a year by not buying something that isn't required. That $100 could be used to buy a foglight or spacers if you're looking for a healthy alternative to tacos.

But as I say, $20 isn't a make or break it number for me and I was actually considering contributing... before I saw this post.
