With that said, To the OP, we too have the same car, 2012, engine is rock solid, very impressive which Im sure you know by now but you post an interesting question and we have only used regular gas for 70,000 miles, since it's such a high compression engine, for the fun of it, next time I'm going to do premium and see if any difference.
For a low cost car, this thing kinda feels like a little rocket as it is and doubt there will be a difference, yet Mr Nice may have a point or not.
