However, using higher than needed octain is not only waisted money, but will reduce power out put.
The octain number refers to the resistance to ignition. On some vehicles (my old lady's S-10 Blazer for example) if you put 93 octain in it, it will actually run worse than if you run the 87 octain.

I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.
