there is a thousand posts on this topic , Search is your friend.

But to answer your question , unless your car is tuned for a higher octane rating there is minimal to nill difference as far as power goes. However alot of the premium petrols have detergents that clean injectors and the fuel system , so thats a plus.

yeh there are a few topics like this one, but for my experience with an old car if i put normal unleaded in my car it goes though it like nothing else, and also runs like a dog. Premium unleaded gives me heaps better fuel comsumption

Exactly. Only do it if you have too much money and need to get rid of it.

When My work pays for the fuel (Take the can to work, and fill up when finished with the Territory), I put Caltex Vortex 98 in my Victa. If work doesn't pay (very rarely) I use the cheapest fuel I can find.
