[|)] What he said. Unless you have a HP motor with a knock sensor, higher octane is not needed, and in fact racers have found more power with lower (proper) octane for a specfic engine. Seems that when the octane is increased past what is needed, the engine can't ignite the fuel properly, losing power. Same reason nitro motors need a lot more timing. If the timing is the same as gas, the fuel takes too long to ignite, causing highest combustion pressure to be reached long after the best point. It also causes more deposits, due to incomplete burn.
