I'll be one of those bold enough to admit that I use Regular fuel in both my E and S 500's. I use the fuel not because I am "cheap", I use it because I know what my engine really needs based on my driving habits....
Lear31a,
I totally agree with you and the only reason I keep putting in premium is just in case I need to put the "pedal to the metal" to get out of a bad situation -- I don't want the engine to start coughing. I've had to do this a couple of times already and I just drive normal highway speeds (10-15 mph above speed limit in Mass!)

Regards,
paul...
