    Higher Octane Gas = more $ per gallon.

    Higher Octane Gas + a car designed for it = better running car.

    Better running car = Better gas mileage

    Better gas mileage = Less Gas used, offsetting the initial higher gas cost.

    17 mpg on cheap gas@ 2.49 gallon, 10 gallons = 6.8 cents/mile running bad
    19.1 mpg on BP 92 @ 2.69 gallon, 10 gallons = 7.1 cents/mile running well.

    The 4% fuel cost savings isn't worth it. Run the Gas the Car was designed for.
