I guess it's questionable whether it can pull enough or whether 87 also introduces pre-ignition detonation. I guess someone could log some driving with 87, but anyone who can do that probably doesn't want to (including me lol). |

Huh, it was my understanding that most high compression engines could run on 105 octane race fuel no problem. Am I perhaps thinking of a non-ethanol 105 octane?

Gonna say something I never do but... If saving money by using the wrong fuel is that important than people need to be looking at other cars.

They will run on it but it will serve zero advantage unless tuned to take advantage of it. Higher octane does not mean "better" burning or higher quality. In fact it does the exact opposite as far as the burning part goes.

I get knock correction on 91, would never run anything less. I run on E85 most of the time now but changed during this last "cold snap" when it was hard to start in 30F temps. Plus I have to drive 15-20 min away to get it so is a hassle to begin with, but worth it for my engine to run better.
ethanol has different flow requirements then regular fuel so it requires a tune. |

93 unless I find non ethanol gas then I use it, I've never seen it over 91.

There are places here and there where I live where you can get a variety of different race fuel octane levels from 98 to about 110. You won't notice any difference in your street car, except maybe an increase in acceleration due to the weight loss in your wallet. |
