If you want to saving money at the pump, use regular gas instead of premium. If you car manufacturer RECOMMENDS premium, by all means follow it. If you have an option, consider using regular to save money. This will keep more cash in your pocket. Each year, American drivers waste a collective $2.1 billion purchasing gas that is a little to good for them. A recent AAA report earlier this year found that these drivers pay for high-octane gas even when it is not required or recommended for their vehicle. If your car makes a pinging or knocking noise on regular gas, however, you should have it checked out by an honest and qualified mechanic and probably switch to premium gas, AAA says.
