$3.40 US/gallon for premium yesterday in Onieda, TN to fill the Spyder. Why does ROTAX design for premium?

The 1330 engine has a compression ratio of 12:1. 12X15= 180 PSI. A GW 1200 has a compression ratio of 160 to 180. My 1200 has 165 ish all round and as you know, regular gas. Used mid grade in Sonya's brothers 2018 F3 and no ill affects, and did not notice any performance issues. Going to wean my Spyder off premium.
