Based on what?

Where is it stated that the V6 is tuned to run on low grade octane?

Until proven otherwise the V6 can adjust to the fuel placed in tank.

As far as net value to the customer who knows. For me .30 cent (premium fuel) increase means my fuel purchase will cost 2.40 more per two weeks. I am ok with 4.80 each month adding to 57.60 for the year. BTW, I only use 8 gallons per two weeks.
