I know from experience that the Renault Sport range doesn’t tolerate the steep increase in power. Increasing the torque could give you some unpleasant surprises (see clutch replacement cost A4).

By my calculations I waste money by not using 91 or better octane fuel. Let's say for example with 87 I get 26mpg and with 91 I get 29mpg...just to show the difference let's use 100 gallons. With 87 I can go 2600 miles and with 91, I go 2900 miles. That's a difference of 300 miles. Consistently, 91 is $.22 more than 87 so let's go with 87 at $3 and 91 at $3.22. That would make it $300 vs $322 to make up the difference of 300 miles I would need 11.5304 gallons at $3, which would be $34.61 so it's only a $12.61 savings you would also have to account for the better performance and cleaner engine and the other related parts that will be affected. Therefore, premium is exactly $.12 cheaper; divide the savings by 100 gallons. Wow, is that right or is my math incorrect?
