I dunno, I think running your engine without oil is a much worst thing
then running in on premium fuel. :-)

The oil companies advertise all kinds of "cleaning" and "anti-deposit"
additives in their premium gas. They lie like a bunch of common pygmies.

Well, it's more a lie of ommission. They do have additives in their
premium gas, but what they're not telling you is that they're in their
regular gas, too. The old mechanic's solution "run a tank of premium
through your engine to clean it" simply doesn't apply anymore. Modern
fuels do an excellent job of keeping engines clean. That's why fuel
additives - other than those designed to remove water - are largely a
waste of money. You can remove water from your tank using denatured
alcohol that's a fraction of the price of Drygas and similar products.

This is also true of oil additives; they're unnecessary and often
counterproductive. Modern oils contain finely-tuned additive packages
that are based on the needs of the engine. Dumping a bottle of "Amazing
Snake Oil" into your crankcase is not only not helpful, it can disrupt
the balance of additives and result in lower protection for your engine.
Some, such as those that contain Teflon (which Dupont say IS NOT
suitable for use inside an engine) can actually cause blockages in the
fine oil pathways found in newer engines, resulting is serious engine
damage.

The bottom line is that the manufacturer of your engine has invested
tens of millions of dollars (or more) in developing it. They KNOW what
it needs for fuel and lubricants. Follow their recommendations and you
can't go wrong.
