I do a round 520-540 mile trip regularly and it cost me about $30. That is about 16 gallons of gas. Almost straight interstate.

This is not a Lamborghini. If it blows up so be it. It’s a risk i’m Taking. Not advocating anyone else do it.
I’ll probably keep this car for as long as it holds up. Hopefully 10 years. It probably won’t get here since I have 94k in 3 years. That would mean 300k miles. I got 13 years out of my last car until it got totaled
But if I do get there, then I would have save $7500 in gas.

Why make the thread if you aren't trying to prove something or attempt to convince other people it's OK? Because someone new to cars may think we are all cranky old farts picking on you trying to stick up for some oil company conspiracy to pay more for fuel. Then they try it, drive their car hard and blow their engine and come back here wondering what went wrong.
Bring real data. Hell even manually calculated MPG since the dash is based on a short driving distance avg based on recent driving. We won't even ask for knock correction since we know you are getting some.
And on that note if gas is that cheap to begin with holy crap. That is really no excuse to not run premium.
