I've heard this case several times from regular drivers.

Is that the order in terms of gasoline quality?

Don't forget lease vehicles (although the dealers transform the car back to great condition after the inspections). My brother took his fairly new Nissan Pathfinder (previous generation model that was closed to ending his lease) to a desert nearby Vegas and we had a blast. Good thing the SUV was made to do off-roading.

Be sure to inform your friends and families. Stick with the gasoline grade recommended by the manufacturer at all times.
