>>>i've been running a test for 145,000 miles on my 88 ... using six
brands and three octanes. so far, not a nickel's worth of difference
between the 87 octane, 89 octane, and 91/92/93 octanes. well, that's
not right ... not a nickel's worth of difference in the MPG! all you
see is the difference in miles per dollar! :(<<<

kinda what I always figured, but do you feel any increased power, smoother
running engine, anything at all from the higher octanes?
