Default Premium fuel only?

I'm guilty of putting regular fuel my previous luxury cars (BMW-6 yrs and Lexus- 8 years) without any issues. I've put premium in the q do far, but I'm wondering if it is really worth it.

Anyone just use regular? Or I was even thinking of using regular and adding the fuel additive once a month? Anyone switch back and forth? Or do you strictly use premium gas?

I don't know why you'd spend $60-70K on a luxury car and then sacrifice performance by putting cheap gas in to save $5-10 at the pump. You'll risk potential engine issues and reduced performance. I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts though.

Guys, there are dozens of threads on this. Even one as recent as yesterday.


The engine manufacturer recommends 91 octane or better in the USA.
