You also would get lower mileage with lower octane. When I had a maxima I would get 3 more mpg on premium than on regular, so it would cancel out the price increase. That's why I never care if a car requires premium, and I sort of feel bad for anyone who is pinching pennies so bad that $3 more at the pump when you fill up is a big deal.
