I generally run best in the morning. Once I've had supper, I'm ready to plop in front of the TV and relax. My FXR, however, seems to do well on mid-grade gas and so I don't need to giver her any super.
The rule of thumb is to give your vehicle whatever grade gas allows it to run without knocking. Higher grades than that don't allow the motor to run better unless it is a turbocharged or supercharged engine or has a knock sensor that can advance timing for better performance. In the real world, gas companies often put a better additive package in their premium gas that could be beneficial over time.

Have your timing strobed before changing gas, you could be running advanced.
