we've had this question too many times before... if you can't afford to maintain/operate the car... dont buy it...

but to address your question:
but yes you can drive w/o premium, but your fuel economy and performance is going to suffer.

at the end of the day if you think saving 4 bucks a tank is worth it all; you don't need our approval.
