Sleeper (which is what I should be doing right now), The bottom line (which we both seem to agree), use the octane fuel that is recommended and you won't have any problems.
I have also heard many drivers mention slower track times when higher octane fuel is used. This is a tough claim to make unless you can repeat the test multiple times in the exact same conditions (atmospheric and other). There are really too many factors, including the human ones. I would venture to say that there are equally as many folks who thought their times were better with high octane fuel. Maybe with them, it is just a "self-fulfilling prophecy."
I tried to distinguish between a ping and a knock. Pinging probably happens more often than you think.
I have seen lots of studies done on internal combustion engines when it comes to fuel usage. There was one that was done at either the University of Wisconsin or Michigan (I forget which one). I will see if I can find it and email to you or post it.
