My 1983 Honda Civic manual says "use regular gas," but when I do, my
car runs rough, stalls, and gets low fuel-miles. Auto mechanics say
that if your car runs better with premium, use it. I've even heard
recommendations of occasionally using premium, perhaps every 4th fill
up, which helps clear out injectors, plugs, and exhaust.
