Can you tell the difference?

Can you tell a diff between 87 octane and 93 octane? if so what differences could you tell and what are the advantages of using 93?

I'm sure this has been asked a million times. sorry

Uh oh, the octane thread again.

By the way, I notice a huge difference in performance from regular and premium.

if your really that concerned, use the middle grade. I use 94 octane caus i cant find racing fuel in my area. I notice better gas mileage with premium.

My performance and gas mileage is noticably shot, used regular 1 time and will never do that again. If you think about it, isn't this really relative to all cars that use regular vs premium

btw.......

I think the higher octane will get you a better gas mileage, and keep your engine running better.
