Default Filled up today with 110 Octane

Well, first for starters I paid $4.75 per gallon for this rocket fuel...UNREAL, what a diffenence it makes! How many of you guy's use 93 and above? It's not often, but every once in awhile a little rocket fuel helps propel my little stang to the high 11's.

I hate to break it to you, but your not actually getting any performance out of it. Fuel with too much octane will actually burn slower and cause a lack of power...


your butt dyno isnt calibrated properly. Dont spread false info!

The only improvement you notice is in your head. Running higher octane does NOTHING... unless you advance your timing. Higher octane doesn't make more power, it only makes the fuel less likely to detonate, which allows you to advance your timing or for use in a high compression motor. I gotta laugh at you if you think just running that fuel makes your car faster. Sorry if you think otherwise, but others that know will chime in and agree with me.
