'Premium' gasoline is such a misleading name.

It is more like messing around with undervolting when you don't know what you are doing.

I was more referring to the efficiency side. In that a PSU is most efficient when between a certain wattage of power draw. Similarly, using a fuel formulated for high compression will be less efficient than one for low compression in an engine that is low compression.
