This should put any arguments to rest about cheap gas.

Again, science vindicates Tim's choice to burn Top-Tier premium in my Kizashis.......(I especially enjoyed the section on "Knocking / Pinging" on pg 19).

Yet this is what it says on page 25:
4. Some consumers may associate gasoline quality with fuel grade (premium vs. regular) or octane number, which is a mistaken assumption. Motorists should use the fuel grade recommended by the vehicle manufacturer in the owner’s manual.

Should be a convenience store, not a government agency

Testing in my Kizashi(s) provides evidence that the Kizashi can benefit from higher octane. Both in mileage and power delivery, mine seem to do better. I assume-but-cannot-prove our intake sensing and ignition timing are the culprits. Easy assumption.

The cleaning benefits of the top choices are already established.
