Electronic ignition control that became pretty much standard in the 80s did manage to overcome most performance issues so that using regular worked fine for almost all cars. I think that the claim that cars got better mileage, etc. with higher grade gas is totally unfounded.

I've owned close to 40 cars in my life, including 8 high performance Corvettes, and of those purchased since 1975, only the 1999 came with factory recommendations for premium gas. The recommendation was based on performance issues, not gas mileage.

The suckers that humans are, we fell for the notion that it was "better" than regular and spent a few extra dollars for a bump of a couple of octane numbers and got nothing that made any significant difference in performance or gas mileage.
