Default gas question

Im sure this gets asked alot but i was wondering if there was anyone out there who didnt use premium gas for thier S2000. If you have, do you notice a wear on the engine that doesnt exist on a S with similar milage but using premium?

Just buck up and pay for premium.

The ecu will retard for the cheaper gas. I accidently filled up with 87 once. The car felt noticably slower.
