Efficiency, performance. We have two knock sensors for a reason.

You'll also only save a couple bucks at the pump. 89 is only there to trick people anyway. A car either needs Premium fuel or it doesn't. Avoid crappy brands as well. They evaporate faster and the savings are illusory.

~Cheers~

P.S. If the difference of 10 cents per gallon is a big factor then you definitely have the wrong car.
