Why would anyone use anything lower than Premium? Trying to squeeze and save those pennies out of every gallon you pump?

In my view... there is no choice, must use premium. Why would you want to use less than premium?

I guess if you lease the car and dont give a rats about it. That or plan to sell the car in a few years so it wouldnt matter.
BUT I plan to keep it for a longer period of time and I want whats best for it. If I couldnt afford the gas I shoulnt have the car.
THAT and you think you're saving money using lower grade gas but then you might be getting less power and less MPG so in the end you might be burning more money away than you are saving.

I use the highest octane "consumer" gas available--only 91 rated right now. Darn.
