the petrol pump props. are doing the trick to make money out of this misconception...

premium fuels are costly because they have sania and dhoni in their ads..

that not totally true. Premium fuel has a higher octane(in case of petrol)/cetane(in case of diesel) values. That means that it would have lower knocking properties, resulting in a smoother drive. For expensive cars, specially diesel cars, its always better to go for premium fuel as the use of cheaper fuels could damage the internal parts of the engine.

It makes a difference only for cars that require it. for cars that run
on 87 octane, putting 89 or 91 wont make much difference at all.
but if a car requires higer octane (like our family cadillac) then putting
lower grade gas will be bad.

That is exactly what i have said. You not feel much difference if it is not required. But, when its required, you should put premium fuel. But, if u ask the maker if it is required, he would probably say yes, because it would "potentially" give better mileage.

PS: could you put up some pics of your cadillac ?

As most of them have stated, premium is required for high-end vehicles for better performance... But,Premium petrol is known to cause less pollution and maintain a cleaner engine through the detergents it contains.If not economically profitable, polluting levels can be considered on a wider perspective..

never got to post here. So here it is....
