Not necessarily true (from Google about differences in octane):
'In addition, premium gasoline has some other selling points. Most premium gasolines have a higher-quality additive package put in at the refinery. The actual additives in a particular brand of gasoline are generally not disclosed by refiners. But usually they include detergents and other solvents that keep the carburetor and rest of the fuel system clean.'
And besides that, it makes me happy
. Since I usually only use about 7 gallons a week when dry camping, the $$$ difference is negligible. I use premium in my lawn mower also which uses about 5 gallons a year
