In Columbia, Diesel Fuel is priced at $$4.01 per gallon versus ${regularPrice} for regular — a ${diff} per gallon premium. On a 15-gallon fill-up, that's ${fillDiff} extra. Over 50 annual fill-ups, the premium adds ${annualDiff} to your fuel costs.
If your car requires premium and you accidentally fill with regular, modern engines have knock sensors that retard timing to prevent damage. You may notice reduced performance and slightly worse fuel economy. Fill with premium on your next fill-up. This is a minor issue if it happens occasionally.
