Thanks for the info, sounds like race fuel at the pump is the more effective solution. The engine is not knocking, yet I fear that since it's designed for 92 octane, the engine's OBD II system is re

True, but our cars are no longer getting 92 octane. So upping it back to 92 could have some benefits. That's what I intend to find out. I don't know about the computer on other cars, but on BMWs OBD

It appears the statement "is not used to driving with a manual gearbox" is a grave understatement. . . OK, this article looks like it came from the National Enquirer. And what's up with the #200,000

I filled up with 100 octane race gas at the Union 76 yesterday. The car's 11 gallon tank took 7.5 gallons. The gas didn't seem to make any difference, until I opened up the throttle and let the engin
