I recently purchased my first BMW -- a 1994 352i. I think it's a great
car. However, I notice that the owner's manual indicates that I should
fill my tank with high-octane ("premium" here in the United States)
gasoline. I've never before used premium gas, figuring that it was not
necessary and never previously having had a problem with regular (87
octane) unleaded with my other cars (mostly Volvos). Now, with the
price of gasoline reaching all-time highs here in the U.S., I want to
make quite sure that my "new" BMW really needs 89- or 92-octane
gasoline. Any perspectives on this issue would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Premium car = premium gas. If you don't want to, that's your
decision. The cost over time isn't really all that much, especially
when compared to out-of-warranty engine repairs.
