Gasoline

If your car does not need it, there is no point. It's just wasiting money. If minimum is say 87 and recommended is 91, then put 91 if you wish, but do not go below 87. It's like putting in 100+ octane in a car that recommends 91. What difference are you going to see? Nothing that is really noticeable.

When I had my '01 Accord I did notice a slight difference between 87 and 89 octane, but 91 didn't do anything. My G35 recommends 91 and even though 87 works, no matter how low on gas I have, I'll ONLY put 91. Filling up a tank with 87 and 91 is about a $3-$5 difference, so it doesn't make much of a difference, unless you look at it in the long run.

you should only use Premium/high octane gas when the car calls for it, most cars are setup to run on 87 or 89 octane, and using a higher octane can make it ping and it won't combust properly

Your car will ping (knock) if you use lower octane gas than the car calls for, not the other way around.

cruise control on the highway will help gas mileage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
