Since I noted a tiny gain from switching to from 91 to 94 oct. that a local station just started offering...IMO, downgrading your gas is not worth it...Take a packed lunch to work an extra day as a trade off if your that much of a penny pincher.
I don't know, if you read the article. It indicates that there is no sound economic or automotive reason for paying an extra 10-15% for premium...it's like giving an extra $400 per year to the OPEC cartel...forget the issue of cheapness, is there any good reason for paying extra for premium, besides that DC says so?
