I think the answer likely is that if you perceive no performance drop off on your leased car, don't bother. I buy cars outright and tend to drive them for awhile. So I use premium. As many like to chime in, why not pay the few extra bucks per tank. Do I really need to? I'm not really sure frankly. I do as much out of habit as anything else.

But I don't think you are necessarily being cheap not to do so on a leased car.

Flame away premium snobs.
+1, exactly my thoughts !

I couldn’t care less about the longevity of the car after 36 months. I will allow BMW to figure out any possible longevity issues after 36 months.

Don’t care for premium gas, don’t care for some extracurricular oil changes and don’t care for rattles and hums in the car either. That’s the beauty of a lease.

Different story if I was ever to buy that car…
