Premium Gas A Better Deal ENERGY Miscellaneous 28-4-5 Few people realize that as gas gets more expensive, premium becomes a better deal. Premium increases compression so fuel burns more thoroughly and efficiently, giving more horsepower and acceleration, a cleaner engine with less sludge and varnish formation, and better mileage. I have noticed there's usually about 20 cents difference in price between regular (about 87 octane) and premium (93 octane), regardless of price. As gas has gotten more expensive, this 20 cent difference is now a much smaller percentage of the cost. I get about 15 percent better mileage in my car with premium so gas would have to go back down to $1.33 for it no longer to be worth it. Anonymous internet comment
