Premium fuel will do nothing for you other than separate you and your money quicker. Do some research by googling "truth about octane", "premium fuel gas mileage" and other similiar phrases.
Driving habits, tire pressure on tow vehicle and trailer, along with slow acceleration will do more to improve your mileage than changing fuel types or brands.

I have read that as well, but I will say that my wife's vehicle (Hyundai Sonata) gets substantially better gas mileage using mid grade gas than regular. We've checked it several times. I can't tell much difference in my truck.

I drive a SWB 97 Chevy 4.3l V-6 5 speed standard and pull a 18.5 ft Xpress and get the same 22 mpg with or without the boat running 75mph with the cruse on.
