This is a debatable topic, some say "oh my car runs better on premium" but it's a hoax. Their trying to make themselves feel better about wasting money lol.

Check this video out for the specifics.

Premium unleaded is usually at a higher octane than normal unleaded. For example premium could be 91 and normal would be 87. The higher then octane then the quicker that the fuel will burn. This is especially good for racing. But the gas alone won't really make a difference, if you get the car or motorcycle tuned for that specific fuel then you will see a change. For example 110 is 110 octane and C-16 is 117 octane. You could have simply googled this, there was no need for a post. Here is what google had to say about this... "This is the same as saying your engine is designed to perform its best with a specific octane rating of gasoline. A "high-performance engine" has a higher compression ratio and requires higher-octane fuel to prevent it from prematurely igniting fuel before the spark plug does it."

I run a 93 octane race tune on my car and I feel a immediate difference when I take the tune off and run 87 octane gas. Find something that works for you because it might help overall.

Yeah, but the reason that you would feel the difference is because your car was tuned for 93 octane fuel. For a regular car that is not tuned, you will not notice any change. OP if you want to run higher octane gas, then you should get your car tuned for that gas, but unless your car is a race car or you have a specific reason for it, the higher octane gas would be a waste of money.

if everyone googled everything instead of posting here then Ttg would really be dead but thanks for the answer anyway

Long story short, stick with standard octane fuel unless your car has been tuned specifically for a higher octane of gas.

That being said, most Japanese import cars are tuned from the factory to run on Japan's standard fuel, which is the equivalent to American/Australian/British high octane gas.

if you could tell us what your make/model of car is then I can tell you what is best to use.
