If you habitually use "top tier" gasoline brands (see

valves, injectors, etc. .
NoOne said:Here in Canada, a litre of premium is about 10 cents more than the
cheapest fuel. Since there are 4.5 litres in a (Canadian) gallon,
that's 45 cents more per gallon. 45 cents out of $4.50 means about
10% more for premium fuel. If you spend $3,000/year on gas, you pay
$300 more. It might be better to simply pay someone to open the
engine and have him properly cleans the valves, injectors, etc. .
