speed, 1992 100S, and 1997 A8) has been higher gas milage with premium.
Another thing to consider here: The difference between 87 octane gas
and 93 octane gas is 20 cents. As gas prices go higher, this 20 cent
difference decreases percentage-wise, making the premium gas a better
value as the gas prices go higher, assuming that your car gets 5% - 10%
better milage with premium as I have experienced. You also get better
performance and less wear on the engine.

octane. She drives about 40 miles/day with it. Having nothing better
to do, she experimented with three different octanes (she has a PhD in
physics, so this is her nature d;o) ). She got much better mileage
with the 92 octane and insists that the few extra pennies a gallon is
worth it in mileage.
