I can go on and on about saving (according to your figures) $12.50 a month.

Risking detonation on my mercedes?. No thanks. If your car does not show detonation at 4+k rpms with 87 octane, your engine is running too rich, and is wasting gas.
no starbucks, etc.... i do my own work...and drive my car normally... if i ever heard detonation , i would move up...
