Premium Unleaded Gas Station Receipt Example
This receipt documents a premium 93 octane fill-up at Pump 7. The tank accepted 11.832 gallons at $4.199 per gallon for a total of $49.68 paid at the pump with a Visa card. The fuel grade line explicitly states PREMIUM UNLEADED 93: the octane rating is always present on a premium fuel receipt so the purchase is clearly documented for expense reimbursement and vehicle service records. This is the standard receipt format for BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and other vehicles requiring premium fuel.
This premium unleaded receipt documents 14.5 gallons of premium 93 octane at $4.29/gal at a Chevron station, totaling $62.21 — typical for a luxury sedan or sports car refuel where premium fuel is required.

Why is premium fuel more expensive per gallon than regular?
Premium 91/93 octane fuel requires additional refining steps to raise its octane rating above regular 87. The refining cost plus market supply and demand set the premium at $0.40–$0.80 more per gallon than regular at the same station. The octane rating number on the receipt (91 or 93) is the Anti-Knock Index (AKI), which is the average of the Research Octane Number and Motor Octane Number, both printed on the pump label.
Is premium fuel always required for luxury vehicles?
Most manufacturers of turbocharged or high-compression engines specify premium fuel as 'required' or 'recommended.' Required means using regular may cause engine knock and damage: the ECU can retard ignition timing to prevent knock, but at the cost of performance. Recommended means the engine is optimized for premium but can safely run on regular with reduced power output. The vehicle's fuel door label (Regular / Premium Required / Premium Recommended) is the authoritative source.
