Do you have to use premium fuel in an acura TL 05. I know it says on the gas thing that you should, but what if you dont? By using premium fuel does it give you better mpg?

The engine is tuned for premium, you save money by using premium due to increased efficiency. This question has been asked 'ad naseum'. I'm going to let a 3G TL mod decide what to do with this.

Please search in the future.
