We call them They even say that they know their engine doesn't need it but
they want to give it 'treat' once in awhile. idiots around here...:-)
Know what? It extends to people that really should know better - racers.
I've seen bunches of them filling up with 115 at the track when their engines
have 11:1 and would probably run on 94. They think it is somehow 'racier'.

Paul, there's also the urban legend that high octane
fuel equals high power. Many people run their
89-octane-designed cars on 93 octane fuel, at 20-30
cents a gallon more, expecting superior performance.
There's also a belief amoung some, that 93 octane fuel
is more "pure" than 89 octane - which is exactly the
opposite of reality.
