Default Re: Gas Octane

Higher compression engines require higher octane. However, the marvelous ECUs in our cars will retard the ignition to prevent damage from pinging (pre detonation). That being said, I won't use anything less than midrange octane and often alternately fill with midrange and premium when tank is 1/2 full.
