Steve,
Thanks for the info. My car is actually recommended to run on the higher octane fuel. I'm just trying to determine whether it is better to add octane boost to regular gas or pay the higher price of high octane fuel at the pump.
BTW, I religously read ETM.

Chris,
Best bet is to follow the manufact's recommended octane. Going higher is (usually) just feeding the pockets of the oil folks.
REAL tuning (chipping/cam timing adjustment/engine mapping/etc) could mean you need ever-higher octane, but a REAL TUNER knows what they are doing and can provide DYNO results as proof.
A basic stock set car... go with manufact recommendations.
Am glad you enjoy Enjoy the Music.com and appreciate your continued support :)
Keep the shiny side of the car up and as always...
Enjoy the Music,
Steven R. Rochlin
