High octane? Why?

Anyhow, I occasionally run tanks of Cheveron 87 through all my vehicles
because I think the Techron might help keep the injectors clean. I have
never had injector clogging problems and I intend to keep it that way. And
yes, even I am not immune to a little advertising hype.

Most of the time I get 'City Gas' @ about 10cents a gallon cheaper to keep
my beasties running.
