Default RE: Octane at altitude

also, i found this out tonight actually. . .

running too high of an octane for a certain tune, has long term effects on spark plugs. . .

this process is speeded up the higher the octane rating. . . say. . . race fuel. . .

friend just fouled some spark plugs with a half a tank of 110 rated octane gas . . .

of course they also had 50k miles on them as well. . .

just an FYI
