Re: octane gas
Myth: Higher octane fuel will give your engine more power...

Truth: Higher octane fuel will stop you from losing power and possibly your engine due to detonation. Basically, the higher the octane is, the longer it takes to explode, meaning that it's designed to stop pinging in heavily worn, high C/R and over advanced timing engines.
