Yeah, from what I know it is normal... The higher the octane, the hotter and faster the fuel burns. I guess it kinda makes sense. But don't run the octane boost so much... I hear it is bad on the injectors and other related sensors... How did it run ??

I don't think this is correct. Can you substantiate it?

nope..higher octane cause gas to burn slower. This prevents detonation.
