I dont believe the claims of improved fuel economy using premium are justified and examined through proper testing - its just a perception because the engine has more power and appears to run more smoothly. I wouldnt trust any published economy figures because those figures are determined under lab conditions using dynamometer testing at oprtimal engine RPM's and torwue to produce the best figures. My ecperience is that you can add 25% to the stated figure to get a realistic idea of what your consumption will be during normal day to day driving in real life
