Is high test really necessary?

Nope, never considered it. When I bought the car I knew it required premium and that's what I put in there. Why would you consider putting less than what the manufacturer requires in the vehicle? I mean is $4-$6 a tank going to make that big of a difference in your wallet?

On that note, the motor is engineered (compression, timing, and all that) to use that specific test. You may get away with a few tanks, but eventually you'll get that bad luck where it causes misfires or failed detonations and start causing major issues.

I looked up the price difference where you live. At $0.40 a gallon difference, if you were empty, that's $8.00.

One good denotation could cost you a whole lot more! Didn't you know the car needed premium before you bought it?

You quoted my post so I'll respond that premium is $.30 higher here. Not sure what your looking at, some stations may be that high but QT and Costco aren't.
