Im not even going to read this stupid article. Its completely false and wrong. Premium fuel engines are designed to run on a higher octane. If you put 87 octane in an engine designed for 93, youre in for a world of trouble a couple of months down the road.

From the article~
"But the reality is, most cars don't need premium. If your owner's manual specifies regular fuel, don't be tempted to treat it once in a while to premium. It is unnecessary."

Read the article and don't be an idiot. *MOST* cars *DON'T* need premium... some do.

Don't complain about "stupid and completely false" articles if you are to stupid to read them. (whether or not you agree)
