well this comes off as a bit arrogant, doesn't it?
Maybe it's just a matter of some people don't like to unnecessarily **** away their money. I could also 'afford' to light fires with dollar bills, but it'd be stupid wouldn't it?
Reg vs Premium fuel?

I don't want to come off like a d*ck, but it comes down to penny pinching. If you run 93/91 when you go off road or on road trips you must think it increases performance somehow...so why not run it all the time

Seems to me that higher octane fuel generally yields better fuel economy. Not a lot better, but enough to offset the cost difference. No?
Then no more arguing about it. The best thing is to run 93 and not look back.
...now you guys shake hands.

My wife was running 87 in the LR3 for a while. Then I went to drive it. 
Since it has the same identical engine as my RR Sport I noticed the difference immediately. The LR3 was sluggish and was doing it's own version of knocking. When she admitting to have been using 87 to save a few dollars, I pulled in to the nearest gas station (of course she was riding on "E" as usual)....filled it up with 91...and 15 minutes later the car seemed so much more happy and peppy. In a pinch I'll use 89, but nothing lower.
