RE: high octane... a waste in money

Changing the timing proves this point. High Octane fuel burns slower so you
advance the timing (or change the timing curve to something more aggressive
like the MP Computers). This creates a slower/longer burn time.

Let's not forget the people that have older motors. Carbon Buildup =
Detonation. Add some Octane Booster and your problem is solved.

Don't knock the octane boosters just because they don't work in YOUR
vehicle.
