-So either your time is worth around 10 bucks an hour or;
-$250 spread out over a year is seriously going to affect your finances or;
-Your a cheap bastard who's willing to compromise performance (the #1 reason for buying you car in the first place) to say a few bucks
If any of these is the case then maybe you need to reconsider owning a luxury-performance car.

Absolutely agree +10000. I get it all the time from BMW customers, "why can't I run 87 octane in my car, it's so much cheaper". But if you really do the cost analysis, you're only saving 20 cents per gallon between junk gas and premium gas. On a 15 gallon tank you will save $3, big woop. If you can't afford an extra $3 per tank then maybe you should look at the nice honda civic at the dealer down the street.
