Eli5: What does premium gasoline actually do?

1.23K views

In the United States at least there are 3 grades of unleaded gasoline at most pumps. Does it really matter what grade of gas you use? Can I use the lowest grade one week and the next week get premium if I can afford it? Does it help with milage or does it keep your engine clean? What is the difference?

follow up question to this is: does the gas brand (arco, shell, 76, chevron, costco, etc) matter for you car?
