This one is sure to draw the ire of at least a few people that swears by “premium” gas (when their car doesn’t need it). For whatever reason, many people believe that filling up with premium grade gasoline is somehow “better” for their car, or even that it “cleans out the engine.” Others actually believe that it is essential to put premium gas in their car and that it will malfunction if you try to run it on anything less. For most drivers, nothing could be further from the truth. Just check your car’s owners manual. If you need to use premium gas for a legitimate, mechanical reason, it will be stated in the manual so many times that it will be impossible to miss. Luxury cars (like Cadillacs, for example) often require premium gas because their high performance engines require higher octane – that is, slower burning – fuel. But if your owners manual makes no mention of it, you are simply wasting money on each premium gallon you purchase.

When it comes to spectacular high class autos, the Europeans retain the leadership, thanks to such mythical brands as Ferrari, Bentley, Koenigsegg, and Maserati. Take joy in high quality, appreciate life.
