It only works if higher octane gas is recommended for the vehicle. Honda recommends Premium for my '99 Odyssey. I used it for a while but decided that the 2-3 MPG loss of running Regular was okay since the van didn't seem to mind and the increased cost ($0.20/gal) didn't make economic sense. That when gas was
under $2/gal. Now that gas is $4/gal, and Premium is still only 0.20 more, the economic value has shifted back to Premium since I stand to make a 10% gain in fuel economy with only a 5% increase in cost. My van is on it's last tank of Regular. I can't wait to see the results when I start using Premium again.
