Pretty near every gasoline car on the road should be using RUG. Premium is unhealthy for most engines, and is a total scam. Unless you have built the motor or bought something with very high compression, you have no need for premium.

Premium will knock less, not more, as a general rule. Your experience may be due to unusual circumstances.
