The gas cap on my 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser states that I should only use premium fuel but in this time of rising gas prices, I wonder prefer to save the 20-30 cents per gallon and use the regular fuel. Will this cause any issues with performance, lesson the miles I get per gallon, or worsen the effect my emissions have on the environment? Answering that I should have bought a hybrid car doesn’t count!

I filled up with it once feeling good about my descicion. The lady at the station said that an average American using only unleaded biofuel would save a barrel and a half of oil per year, but it seemed like I may not have had as good of gas mileage, which means I’d have to fill up more often, counteracting the saving of oil. Can anyone give me any information on this?

I have a 1999 Mercedes E Class that has 115,000 miles on it and mechanically, it runs perfectly. With the recent rise in gas prices, I am wondering if it would be bad for the engine to use lower grade gas to save a little bit of money.
If yes, are there any negative side effects to using the lower grade fuel?

My car calls for Premium Unleaded Gasoline (BMW 330i). I was wondering what the effects would be if I were to put Regular in to save a few Dollars? Would it do major damage to the engine? Also, what would happen if I put ‘Super’ in?
Thanks a lot for the help!
