Re: Afraid engine will become octane junkie
Look, folks need to understand this, the recommended octane rating is all you need to use but it won't do any harm at all to use a higher rated fuel. In a sense you already are using higher rated fuel anyway. You see, that sticker on the side of the pump that tells you the octane is actually telling you the minimum octane, not the exact or even the maximum. So it it says its 87 that means that it is at least 87 and could be anything higher than that.<br /><br />Also, there is no advantage what so ever to using fuel that is rated at a higher octane than recommended. It will not give you more power, it will not make the engine start easier, it will not somehow magically either make the engine run cleaner or somehow become cleaner internally. Every bit of that nonsense is pure marketing hype.
