the price of premium vs regular (about .05¢ a gallon) and the rest of the markup goes to the station
The whole premise of this thread was that somehow this thread was 'different' from previous threads about gas. Guess what? .... it's the same old argument. Everybody, do what you want, but enough of the 'I feel' or 'I think' arguments. It's all personal opinions that cannot be proved one way or the other. My MO is 'put gas in tank, ride, enjoy, repeat', it's worked fine for over 35 years of riding. Do what is important to you, but enough of the one upmanship, 'I know better' arguments that always populate these threads.
The new oil thread is a gas thread.
The difference is the brand, Chevron for example has Techtron cleaner in the fuel, where as Sam Club most likely doesn't. That is what keeps a motor cleaner vs octane.

It's all marketing dude...They have got you believing that "hook line and sinker"... they did their job well then.... I also own oils stock (Canadian, anyway) so thanks for buying into "more expensive is better" theme... I am way older than you and have used regular fuel in every vehicle I have own in the last 35 years... Low compression ratios, high compression ratios... carbs, fuel injection.... I have had them all... Never once had a fuel related issue, no pinging, no knocking and no gummed up anything... So keep putting that premium fuel in your vehicles... I need my retirement cottage...
You are Canadian, what do you know (they don't even trust you to own a handgun) :Flip:
You know that's a myth , right?
It can be done, can be a hassle, but can be done.....
