I bet your motor will probably explode before you can accumulate any savings.

It blows my mind, that people actually calculate **** like this. How about dropping that starbucks coffee or mc donalds coffee 2-3 days out of your week?


A Z is not an economy car. Any car I have ever owned that had a "Premium Only" requirement got premium gas every fill up. My weekend car prior to the Z was a Mits Eclipse GT. The only time is did not get premium was just after Katrina and there was no premium available in my area for about a week. So I went with mid-grade.

If the cost difference of premium grade gas is an issue, there are plenty of cheap 4-bangers available that run just fine on the cheap gas.
