Premium or not ?

Hi guys..i am sure there are threads about this but I have been putting in premium gas since the summer. this is my first winter with the car.

Does it matter what type of gas you put in the car during the winter. Somebody recently told me that it is acceptable according to the car manual to put in the mid grade level of gas.

Is this true? does this make a noticeable impact on the car's performance for the car during the winter? and does it harm the car at all by putting in the mid grade? an oh yeah..my car is an AT..but i do use the SS every once in a while...


what advantage is there to putting in premium? to me there is only 1 downside..the cost.
