Besides the price I don't think super or premium gas is necessary. Most cars run on regular and I've read articles that say it's not necessary. Unless you drive a really expensive high class car I think regular should do just fine.

I had a truck once that ran bad if i used regular gas so had to use super or premium.  With the car that I have now, i use regular & it runs fine.   ;)

i usually use regular, however, sometimes
i put premium in it because it seems to run
smoother. like a nice cold drink of water  :thumbsup:

I use regular because it's cheaper. Gas is too damn expensive.

I pump regular unleaded. When I first bought my car new, I started out with unleaded plus and sometimes premium. After several years, I switched to regular. It’s not necessary to pay extra for higher octane of gas that already fulfills the car’s most basic needs. Gas is not cheap anymore.

I use regular. My owners manual for my Escape says to only use regular, as the high grade stuff can make the engine knock (which is surprising, because usually it's the other way around.) Anyway, that's fine with me, because I could never afford the higher stuff.
