Re: Difference b/w Gas Octane

there is actually an improvement in HP using a higher octane, when the vehicle requires it. Sport Compact Car did a test last year using a modded 350z and then first using 91octane, then switching to race fuel, like 133octane, netted them almost 10-15 more hp. but like you said, it is not needed if the car cant benefit from it.
