Re: 6 gas-saving myths - from CNN
this is great!!
I especially love this one
#3. Use premium fuel
With prices already over $4.00 a gallon, premium gasoline is a hard sell these days. But a lot of drivers think because their owners' manual recommends premium, they'll get better fuel economy if they stick with it. Really, they're paying more money for nothing.
Even cars for which premium is recommended won't suffer with regular fuel. Modern engine technology comes to the rescue again. When sensors detect regular instead of premium fuel, the system automatically adjusts spark plug timing. The result is a slight reduction in peak horsepower - really, you'll never notice - but no reduction in fuel economy.
at these prices, no one NEEDS to use premium gas!!

Actually, even though the cars "require" premium fuel it's not necessary. The car just won't run at high rpm's...the spark plugs will fire at a lower heat causing a reduction in power. It won't hurt the car, it just won't help it in anyway.
