A "full tank" is 20 gallons, and around here, premium is about $3.50 gallon, so a "full tank" would be about $70.
I "filled up" yesterday. It took a little over 18 gallons, and cost me $63.50.

I think I've been a little rough on the Z this week. I usually get around 300-340 miles at 1/4 of a tank mark. I only just hit 250 miles @ 1/4 of a tank this week. :x (I think I've been enjoying the sound of the pop charger and shifting in the 3.5-4k range instead of 2.5-3k like usual... lol >_>)

Well, I don't know the right answer for sure, but unless you are racing, I would think filling it up is the better choice.
As for the people not using premium and/or the people who can't always afford to fill the tank- check your local Giant (or maybe other big grocery brands) grocery store. The one where I live gives you points when you shop for food that leads to discounts on gas at their gas station. I usually get 20-40 cents per gallon discount, so it's like paying for regular 87. Of course, I may be paying a little more for my food as opposed to grocery shopping at walmart or something, but it makes filling the tank less painful.
