Avoid LIKE THE PLAGUE,,"Premium Gas Required" Automobiles !!

Jan 12 '06

The Bottom Line IT IS A WASTE, 20-50 CENTS/GALLON MORE,EVERY FILL-UP,,,LOOK FOR BETTER ENGINEERING INSTEAD,,,LIKE THE 90'S TOYOTA MR2,,,SUPERFAST AND SUPER HANDLING, ALL ON "REGULAR GAS",,,

If you have owned a regular and also a premium gas only car, you probably have had the same sane conclusion: the 20-50 cents per gallon added cost are DEFINITELY not worth it !!
Ok, you take your BMW or your Porsche,,,and i'll take a non-turbo and non-supercharged Toyota MR2 second body style from the 1990s and i will not only have better performance, but MUCH MORE FUN TO DRIVE, and that is on REGULAR GASOLINE,,,and i probably will outdrive you on the freeway!!
There must be a Rico-link between the oil companies and the auto companies, to make so many cars that "require premium gas" and yet do not show a signifigant improvment in performance than they would have had with regular gas. For instance, the Acura Integra Type-R, is a average accelerator,stock, with "premium required",,,no big deal, yet the punk tuners all want the car to juice with nitrox.
The mini-cooper ,with "only premium" , is another car that probably would be just as fast with better engineering vs the heavy additional cost of 20-50 cents /gallon extra ,every time you fill up. But Mini-cooper does not seem to care more for their customers than the oil companies.
