yes the gas station I go to (last price) was 2.97 for premium vs. 2.75(?) for regular.

If i were to purchase 9.557G (last fill up):

Regular: $26.28
Premium: $28.38

a total of $2.10 difference!

When you see the different prices one usually thinks "wow premium is soo expensive" when in actuality its only a few mere dollars more...$2.10 one can probably find in one's ashtray.

I'll stick with my premium 93. The 190 2.6 gets pretty decent fuel economy 20-22 city / 32 highway.

That 22mpg is accurate too. Usually I have a tendecy to play with the numbers to make myself feel better about the mpg.. but this was true and I was actually impressed.

Moral of the story: Chock up the chump change for the premium. Its not all that much more expensive.
