they say premium cause some 4 strokes to foul plugs it makes them burn white or some thing
Answer:
Premium is a needless expense unless your bike's manufacturer calls for it . The stuff they rate as "octane" is non-combustible additives and are needed in high compression engines to keep the gas from exploding before its supposed to.
Most bikes perform better using regular gas.

An Overview Of Recumbent Bikes
Bicycling has always been an effective way to get in shape and tone the body because it places stress and demand on every muscle in the body. This is why upright exercise bikes have been so popular for in-home fitness. Today, you have the option of an upright bike or recumbent bikes which have a more relaxed, gentle seating position. Recumbent bikes still burn a lot of calories, but they are gentler on the joints so you are less likely to come away with an injury.
The first recumbent bikes weren't used for residential fitness. They were originally designed for physical therapy patients who couldn't balance themselves on top of a regular bike seat. Many were designed with a step-through seat that didn't require lifting the leg over the center bar on regular exercise bikes. With time the general public placed a demand for access to these safer bikes and the market for residential use was born.
Today, every major home fitness manufacturer has at least a small line of recumbent exercise bikes and many are sold at very affordable price points. To give you an idea of what to expect from a recumbent bike today, we will use the popular Schwinn 240 Recumbent Exercise Bike as an example.
Schwinn is a leading brand in the home fitness market today and they are known for many very affordable models. The Schwinn 240 model sells under the $1,000 price range and is considered a lower end model. Yet, it offers all the standard features consumers expect when bringing home an exercise bike today.
Let's start with the design. The Schwinn 240 Bike has a reasonable sized seat and allows the legs to stretch out in front for a safe ride. It has a big console and both the seat and console can be adjusted to fit users of different heights. The design also includes a heavy 20 pound flywheel which makes the ride smooth and adds stability to the overall bike.
The 240 model from Schwinn is also a step through recumbent bike. This means the area between the front frame and the seat is open, without the bar that most upright bikes feature. Users simply step through and sit down, no hiking the leg required. This is a nice feature, since there are still some recumbent bikes on the market that have that center bar.
The Schwinn 240 recumbent exercise bike also offers a variety of convenience features that make the bike more effective for users who want to lose weight or meet fitness goals. There are 16 different resistance options and a variety of workouts programmed into the console. The console is even designed to work with wireless heart rate monitors, though it does not come with a wireless chest strap like many higher priced recumbent bikes include.
The Schwinn 240 Recumbent Exercise Bike is the perfect example of a high quality bike that is being sold for very affordable prices. It has a lot of valuable features but doesn't go overboard with extras that would drive up the price.
Some of the other features that you may be able to find on higher priced recumbent bikes include heart rate controlled workout programs, mp3 player connection ports with built-in speaker systems, and television screens that flip up from the console. There are even high end recumbent bikes that can communicate with a computer to show you imagery of real life scenery around the world while you bike the landscape from those destinations. The technology in the fitness industry is nothing short of amazing!
