RE: Question On Type Of Gas.
Doobs, octane is something that keeps fuel from burning. You can get more horsepower with a lower octane. You hear about all this high octane in big or stroked motors and they need it. With alot of stroke or tight combustion area just the piston compressing with no spark can fire the fuel. It's like a diesel engine, hence the term dieseling when you turn off the key on a big motor with low octane and it keeps running. The high octane stops that unwanted burn.

RE: Question On Type Of Gas.
where did you read this? if you could please post up where you did it would be interesting to read. i wouldn't think it would increase hp like rider said considering the tune.

I have read that because of the new computer, you will get about 5 more HP with premium. It will also keep your injectors cleaner. Doesn't cost me that much more per week.
