Types of Gasoline

When it comes to MPG on a V6, would it make a difference if I use premium or regular?

I'm basically trying to get better MPG because back in Denver my stang felt a little bit slower but didn't waste as much gas, now here in SA it feels like it picks up faster but wastes more gas. Even as a daily driver.

the air is different here in sa than in denver, CO. For a v6 with no tune use regular gas.

in any car that is not modded heavily use what the manufacturer built the car to use. Some one will know the entire story, but honestly its a waste of money to use premium on a car that was made for regular.

if your car isn't tuned for a higher octane it won't do anything except waste money. You can actually do harm to your car

Unless its tuned for it, its not worth it.

Ok so how much seafoam do I need for my sixer and where do I put it? I know the typical gas tank answer but someone else mentioned putting it in somewhere else(lol that sounds dirty).
