Best Answer

Premium gasoline is gasoline that has been blended to meet an octane rating higher than "Regular" gasoline.

Higher octane gasoline contains hydrocarbon components which are more branched or have a lower hydrogen to carbon ratio than those with lower octane.

In the United States the typical octane numbers, (RON+MON)/2 are as follows:

Regular = 87

Plus = 89

Supreme = 93.

Typical octane ratings vary in different locations and in some cases elevations.
