Your fuel economy will also take a hit, as the car is intended to have a certain level of octane for its combustion. We had a customer in not too long ago that tested it and was burned. He had top not only flush the fuel system, but also had to replace his plugs. One did it just once and got lucky enough that he only had to run new fuel through the system. Don't take your chances just because you think you're saving a couple cents per gallon. Losing fuel economy and running the risk of damaging internals will cost you more each time.
