6000 miles / 50 mpg = 120 gallons per year
Here in the bay area, the difference between 87 and 91 is always at least 30 cents, so 120 * .3 is at least $36/year, right? An when pricing really gets up there, I've seen it differ by as much as $.40 per gallon.

The gas station I use is always only 20 cents more for 91. And I averaged the highway mileage I got and the city mileage I got so that 3 gallons goes 200 miles.
