AAA also notes, if you're one of the 16.5 million U.S. drivers who has used premium fuel despite the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation, press that 87 octane button and save yourself some money. AAA's analysis found that there is no benefit to using premium fuel in vehicles designed to run on regular gas or that recommend, but do not require premium gasoline.

AAA tested regular and premium gasoline in vehicles designed to operate on regular-grade fuel. The laboratory testing found no significant improvement in horsepower, fuel economy or emissions, suggesting the practice of using premium gasoline when it's not required for the vehicle offers no advantage.
