Our Harleys get premium.
The truck and car take whatever they can get....LOL
Most new cars “need” premium, so I’ve been told.
They were built to run on it and something dreadful happens if they’re deprived.
I dunno because ours are old...;D

Yes, it is dreadful. Their front ends jump up and stamp their tires. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP! Just like the spoiled brats raised by liberals.
Hey, they “volted” for it and they got it. I’m getting a bicycle.

Untrue. Use only the fuel recommended. Putting premium fuel in a car that requires only regular unleaded simply costs you more, and may actually reduce your mileage. The octane is higher, and the fuel will require higher temps/pressures to combust. In order to do this, the engine's computer will adjust the timing of the ignition and that may actually work against you in a car designed for regular alone.
Unless they actually call for premium in the manual, don't use it.
Mine does not (2012 Hyundai Accent). Supposedly gets 35-40 mpg on *regular* unleaded. Not sure if I believe that totally, so I'll be monitoring the fuel usage to see how accurate that is...
