Gas and sport mode

Does everyone use premium fuel? and also how often do you use sport?

No everyone here does not use premium fuel. Some use lower octane because of cost and others believe premium is not necessary. I for one always use premium fuel.

I have no need to ever use sport mode. The best mileage will always come from using drive.

as long as you do the drain and fill and change the transmission filter you should be ok

the car will retard its ignition timing with lower octane, slight drop in power and fuel efficiency. a bunch of people did long term testing and found out they weren't saving any money putting regular in the car

Premium fuel, always.
Sport mode, very rarely.
