I run nothing but the DIRT Cheapest 87 octane in my car. Nothing even name brand. Same thing I run at the track. Crap cheap 87 octane. Runs mid 12's and get 24mpg.

he is 100% right..anyone using higher octane than they need is wasting thier $$$..the higher the octane the more chemicals are put in it to lower combustion chamber temputure witch lowers pretetination or detination due to very high timing advance..this is exelent for turbo/nos/blowers/ or extreme compression..ive seen people run 11:1 on the street with 87 octane..so unless you have a detination problem you are prolly going slower than you could be becasue you are reducing combustion chamber temp and not burning off the fuel you could be..just becasue its 87 doesnt mean its bad quality..quality varios from gas station to gas staion..i only use sunoco or moble 87..
