AAA: Motorists Waste Billions Each Year on Premium Gas

FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) — More than $2 billion.

Researchers say pumping premium gas, which has a higher octane, doesn’t necessarily provide any benefits.

They estimate that about 70 percent of cars on the road require only regular fuel; just 16 percent call for premium.
