Premium gas sales tank as fuel prices rise

Ernesto Evangelista prefers to pump premium gas into his seven-month-old Nissan Titan, thinking it makes the truck run better. But at a BP station just a few blocks from the sand of Miami Beach, the 33-year-old painter grabbed the handle for the regular, 87-octane gas to fill his tank on a recent Friday.

'Premium is just too expensive,' he said. 'Nobody can afford to fill up with premium anymore.'

With rising fuel prices pushing the national average for premium to $4.48 a gallon _ about 40 cents higher than regular _ motorists like Evangelista are buying less of it, industry statistics show.
