Thanks so much Tomj, I have the factory Parts and Service manual. The car had a tune-up just before I got it.

For what it's worth unless you actually did the tune up yourself you REALLY don't know what was done to it. Check everything. I'll also go along with what others have said that putting ultra premium in a car that wasn't designed for it is merely a "band aid". |

If it runs better on premium fuel and you want to run regular fuel, you need to retard the ignition timing a bit.
The car is designed to run either regular or premium. The owner's manual lists timing setting for both.

If premium is better for the engine I don't mind spending a bit extra. I'm using it as my daily driver.
