I've always been told that premium gas was not needed unless required by the mfg...Also, using a higher octane fuel did not result in a better mpg. I have conducted my own MPG comparisons in other autos I have owned and never noticed a benefit from using 90+ octane. As previously stated, as expensive as fuel is these days, I'd have to see a 1-2 mpg increase to warrant 20-30 cents more per gallon.
I think the most cost effective method of saving on fuel is to upgrade to a K&N type air filter and go easy on the gas pedal. On the other hand if we were so concerned about fuel economy, we wouldnt have purchased a 5.6 liter V8 ...lol keep on truckin!
