Gotta go with the premium. If you think about it, what is the extra cash you are spending on the higher octane each time you fill up? On a good day, 20 cents higher per gallon, 15 gallons of gas is 2.50 extra? Not too much.

15 gallons*($0.20)=$3.00

Gas finally dipped to 2.99 a gallon for 87 still sucks. I gotta run 93 so it still cost me 3.30. I was talking to the dude there, and he was saying people in these really expensive cras are coming in and getting regular. It's like you can afford a $100,000 car f'in splurge and put super in it you cheap bastard.

the problems resulting from using regular gas are goin to be far more expensive in the long run, search for this topic because theres a big list of problems and someone broke down the expensives piece by piece vs. gas.
