Don’t buy higher octane gas than you need – higher octane gas exists for one reason, to allow better combustion in high compression engines. Go with the octane level that your manufacturer recommends. If you don’t know what that is, look in your owner’s manual or call your local dealer.
Shop around – Search out the best deal in your neighborhood, or within a few minute detour from your driving path into work every day. There are several cell phone apps that can help you, GasBuddy is one of the major ones.
