Actually, more and more cars are going to high compression with turbos and direct injection becoming more common and premium only cars should become the norm. The thing is, most cars nowadays can retard their timing and adjust their mixtures to run low octane fuel. You lose power and negate some of the money saved because you use more fuel to make the power you would've made with higher octane in a high compression car.
