so many mixed opinions. the benifit of premium has already been expressed here, the major advantage of it is that it is a cleaner fuel. the regular fuel when put into an engine with a high compresion ratio or a boosted cylinder, will be more likely to detonate. the premium seems to be able to handle the compresion phase of the piston stroke a lot better without detonation. but that doesnt mean it wont happen. if you are running the wrong compresion ratio with to much boost it will still suffer detonation.
