    Do you get more power from putting premium in? here's a test

    but remember, their premium fuel is 98 oct. vs 95 oct. NOT 91 or 93 vs 87. so judge accordingly

      We dont. The octane rating system is different everywhere.

      Sort of.

              Running higher octane in our cars is a waste. They have no knock sensor, and can't advance the timing to take advantage of the higher octane.

              Yes, you can get more power and potentially better mileage in a NEWER car that doesn't call for premium.
