Don't be 'fueled': Experts say premium gas is not worth the benefits

If you fill your tank with premium gasoline, you're spending a lot of extra money at the pump. But is it worth it?



AAA found that vehicles that recommend but don't require premium fuel might see a moderately better performance with higher-octane gasoline.
