Great comparison Matt. Puts things into perspective a little more.

It's interesting. It's a good way for me to justify top grade gasoline to my low-octane wallet.
I can't claim I thought of the concept of Relatively Cheaper Premium Fuel™... I saw it here a year or so ago.

After reading this post I decided to run some mid grade to see what happens because I have been running the 87 octane since I have had the car. I must say that there is a noticeable difference in both mpg and low end response in my 98 NA v70. Maybe next time I will try the premium and see what happens.
