My Saturn gets better MPG with premium, That's my experience vs your theory.

You guys crack me up.

If you want to drive low octane and high compression get a diesel.
My Insight does not detonate with 87. If you watch the ECU while driving, it does not advance timing at all with 93. Fuel economy is basically within margin of error with them. Putting 93 in the tank of most cars is just flushing money.
