premium, super or even ethy; have an OCTANE number this most explosive of petrochemical compounds in various concentrations typically 87 is regular 90 is mid-grade and 92 is premium w/techroline (another horrible petrochemical product that does not affect combustion)...yet "cleans" you engine...yah~

are you in a terrible dusty of contaminated atmospheric conditions type place where you are changing the air filter frequently and the environmental cabin filter as well (put a pine-tree A/F in that w/ the carbon filter) you really should not need to have additional things "helping" combustion as YOU DO have a fuel filter...change that instead~

put a tank in and see if performance is degraded...this would be the only setback...if yours is a 1.6 liter it DEMANDS a 92 octane...will poop out otherwise~
