Which Gasoline Do You Use?
 We have a Lexus IS 250 which calls for premium but have been using the middle grade with no issues. What are your thoughts... thanks

I've alternated between 93 and 87 octane, butt dyno can't tell the difference and trip computer reports no change in mpg. So now it's 87 all the time.

Ah, 6.75 AED is about 1.84 USD...I'd love those prices
 Right now I would pay 10.75 AED for fuel

I did the math on the difference out of pocket over the course of a year, since I've had my regular (87 octane) SUV that gets ~14mpg for the last 13 years.
If I were to switch to a premium (91 octane) SUV that gets 15-17mpg around town like the E70, I'd be paying US$150-$200 more per year. It's nothing... especially after spending so much on the car itself. $44 regular weekly vs. $47.2 premium weekly (w/ slightly better mileage) = $166/year difference. Unless you're coming from a Honda Civic instead of another SUV.

We have 91 and 95 octane no 80's
__________________________________________________ ________ The cost for the 91 ( 1L=0.40 SAR) the E70 about 85L so It's going to cost 34 SAR which is $9.06 (85X0.40)=34 SAR $1=3.75 SAR (34/3.75)= $9.06 __________________________________________________ ________ And the 95 (which I always use) cost 0.60 SAR per 1L (85X0.60)= 51 SAR $1=3.75 SAR (51/3.75)= $13.6 __________________________________________________ ________ *SAR= Saudi Arabia Riyal.
