I think this is too high. Anything over about 94 or
so is not needed. Sure it will help clean out the
engine if you use it a couple times, but I don't see
any advantages on a stock engine. Now when you decide
to to some head work and other fun stuff, this would
be a good idea to stop the chance of pinging. Im not
sure what the comp. ratio is on the spits, but my GT6
is about 9.75 and 94 octance is what I use. When you
get into the 12 to 1 ratios go get this great gas,
until then, save your money.
