oh and you dont want to run the lowest octane you can unless you have some weird motor in it. higher is better, if the motor is a high output motor that is.

Octane is the measure of fuels resitance to combustion. You want the fuel to burn as efficiently as possible without pre-ignition. This means running the lowest possible octane.

I don't know where you live but I've never heard of 92 or 97 octane fuel.

If you run a higher octane than you need, it won't all burn off and you'll end up with carbon deposits in your motor. That's bad news.

Bingo. The only reason to run higher octane would be if you have advanced timing or higher compression that requires the extra octane. You will not make any more power just by putting in higher octane gas unless your car was set up to run it.

Even though I didn't start this thread, I appreciate the tip on octane. Thanks all . I went back to what the mfg said I should put in it: Regular Unleaded
