My Z runs on eggnog. No knocking or pinging here. I do add rum for a nice boost though.

Some cars (like the Fusion with EcoBoost) can run on either, but as it states in the fine print, "the horsepower stated is only achieved with Premium fuel."

The engine is also designed to use both, but to get the performance, Premium should be used.

My Frontier also, but I find running premium I get better mileage, so for the extra couple bucks that's what goes in.

I thought it was a drug test in general.

"High-Test" is an old-school term for premium gasoline. I say old-school meaning the 1950's...

I've been around "older" car people quite often and I've never heard this term.

Wow, we haven't had one of these threads in a long time.

Mods must still be on Thanksgiving holiday sincve the thread hasn't been locked!

Simple answer - this was a dumb-arse question! You bought a car that requires premium. If you wanna play, you gotta pay.

Take the number of miles you drive annually, divide by your average MPG, then multiply by the price difeerential between regular and premium. You probably spend more a year on soft drinks or video games.
