Can I Use Regular Gas in My Premium Car?

Experts say YES! I can't believe it. All these years of paying 20 cents more when I really didn't have to. When I first read this, I just didn't register so I did some extra research online and provided below.

I teach people that investing can start with as little as saving $5 a day. I wonder what the cost would be for gas guzzlers to switch from premium to regular. Maybe those drivers could find $5 a day pretty easy to plop into their IRA?

It makes you cross when you realise that companys have been making you buy something dearer when it isn't necessary. Just shows how important it is to do research.

I'm all for saving money but when the manufacturer calls for a certain grade of gas in the factory handbook shouldn't you use it? And if their makers say, power declines slightly, don't you think this might cause some problems down the road? I think most manuals recommend the low grade anyway.
