the difference in fuel costs between regular and premium is 20 cents where i live currently and wasn't that much different across the entire country in the Northeast.

So 3.40 to what, maybe 5 bucks for a 17 gal fillup. You're doing something wrong if that's a big deal to you.

I always assume the fuel is going to be contaminated with water and/or the fuel company is going to try and cheap out and dilute or purchase from a bargain distributor for their regular grade... So i've always purchased premium ...that way if they're diluting the premium, at worst it'll be around regular grade. But if they're being shady with the regular grade, you'll be in pretty bad shape.

Not as much of a problem where i currently live as there aren't any real independent gas stations ...but back in the north east.... shady fuel was/is a problem.
