Premium vs. Regular Gas: How to Decide
by cowboyind | Nov 14 '01
Most cars don't need premium, but a few do -- and not necessarily the ones you'd expect. And premium's not likely to "clean" your engine, either.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this lengthy article. I read every word of it and it was extremely helpful. I was curious about whether I should fill my 86' E300 Mercedes with premium or regular gas, because up to this point I have been using premium gas. I realize now after reading this article that premium is the best choice because the car has somewhat high mileage (154,000), but also it is a high performance engine. Now I can fill up my car with confidence knowing that premium is the best choice for my car.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Yep, sure is the same. I had originally used both terms throughout the review, but since AKI seems to be used more commonly now I changed them all to that to avoid any confusion.

AKI? (Reply to this comment)

Isn't that the same as the octane rating?
