Locally Sam's Club premium gas is cheaper that plus gas at local gas stations, should I get the premium?

Thx

If premium is cheaper, that's a no brainier. That's exactly what I do at Costco

Absolutely, Costco for example only has 87 & 91 since they don't use blender pumps to mix 89. 91 octane meets the recommended requirements while nicely being cheaper than the 87 at most other gas stations.

Sometimes I'll fill up with 91, then refill half a tank later with 87 which puts me at 89. Drain that tank and do it over it over again. It's less complicated than it sounds :)

I use premium 93 all the time from Sam’s, just a few cents more than regular and about the same price or less as the 89 octane elsewhere!

I use premium all the time. Seems like I pick up about 1 mpg in efficiency and she runs a bit smoother.

I’ve ran both 89 and 93. I don’t really notice a difference

Premium here (Costco).

I tried 87 last time (10% ethanol), just to say I had tried it. Yeah, truck doesn't like it when accelerating hard. Nothing less than 89 ever again unless I have no other choice, or its a choice between 89 with 10% ethanol vs 87 with no ethanol. (I have ran into that once before, truck liked 87 no ethanol better.) Costco's premium here is 91 with 10% ethanol.

I will run a couple of tanks of Mobil Premium 93 octane in a row about once a year. However, I do it solely as a fuel system cleaner since around here premium Mobil is advertised as having 2x detergents.
