Bit long but the jist is= Our tests confirm that for most cars there is no compelling reason to buy more expensive fuel than the factory recommends, as any performance gain realized will surely be far less than the percentage hike in price. |

10 cents a liter difference here in Montreal,but even if it was the same price i'd use the octane rating my owners manual recommends.

There are more reasons to run higher octane fuels other than just for performance gains (which I agree that unless the engine is tuned for, are insignificant), such as smoother revving, better economy, increased knock suppression and better cleaning properties in some brands of higher than normal octane fuel.

Does the dealer over there recommend you pay an additional cost to put injector cleaner through the car at service time? |

Our higher octane gas is usually 10 cents a liter more than regular,that would equate to a 40 cent a gallon extra for higher octane fuel,kinda defeats the purpose of buying an economy car if you have to pay an extra 40 cents per gallon when you dont have to. |

I take it you have not yet tried using a higher than normal octane fuel in your car and not noticed the better than normal fuel economy from it?

Some one on here a while back tested regular and super in their Yaris and the Regular always showed 2 mpg better than the super.
