What fuel do you ride on?
So, does everyone put gazoline in their cars or do some put in some Diesel or Ethanol/Methanol ? What octane does youre fuel have ?
Here it's we have 95 and the little bit more expensive 98 and 99 in the pumps at the gasstation. Put 95 in the car because its cheaper but the engine feels better with 98.

European pumps usually display RON octane ratings. North American pumps usually show a blended average of RON and MON octane measurements. You have to add about 5 points to our pump-displayed octane numbers to get to the same rating baseline used in Europe. Our 87 octane wouldbe about the same as Europe's 92.

it is true that premium will make your car run better. the majority of detergents and additives are only put into the premium fuels. so technically the car, regardless of octane requirements, will run better on premium.
but still true also, is most idiots havent a clue as to what the octane rating actually means.
