Message	If you can get away with using 87 or 91 without pinging on hot days and aggressive driving then buying premium is just a waste. Sure, premium gasoline may contain better additives, but certain Top-Tier rated gas stations such as QT put the same additive in all grades. However, not something to toy with in a turbo vehicle - always use premium.
