Super or Premium - a timely question

Okay peeps,
I have my CS3 lancer going on 5 years now and i have always used Premium...
Due to recent developments, where apparently if yuh using Premium yuh rich, doh know where they get that from cause my a$$ sure aint no where close to rich.
But seriously, with Premium now $5.75 which is almost twice that of Super i may have no alternative but to switch. My question is, am i being"penny wise and pound foolish"? Would there be any long term effects to the car? What do the Tuner gurus say?

What does your owner's manual say?
For my CK Lancer, the owner's manual gives the fuel requirements (RON) for all the different engines. If you go to NP's website, the octane rating for the different grades of gasoline that they market is based on the RON. Just see what your car needs and pick the next highest or equivalent grade gasoline.
Do a search, this topic has been extensively discussed recently in other forums.

My CS3 had Ron95+ on the Gas Tank Cover. That was enough to convince me that it needed the premium.

It's ok to use super in the CS3A 4g18 engine guys....premium only burns faster in mine when I had no other choice but to use it.
Super to the World!

Something doesnt sound right Dizzy.
I too have the 95+ RON sticker on the lid. But I had an 1800 GDI engine.
Do you have a GDI? Did you convert?
BTW op...theres a discussion going on in CS thread check the last couple pages.

Thanks guys.... And yes my tank lind has 95+ Octane written on the inside.
However due to the high cost of Premium and the few tuners who used it with no problems, i'm switching to super.
