You're shopping for the wrong car then. If buying it will cause you such
strain that you will have to buy regular as opposed to premium, then you
cannot afford that car, realistically speaking. I'd hold off until your
income situation improves.

I am thinking of an Audi A4 wagon. Running on 87 Octane (US) without
extra wear will be a requirement. Much of my driving will be commuting
(~50 miles/day) where high octane fuel would be a total waste of money.
I'd only put in higher octane fuel for road trips (1000 - 2000 miles).
