nope it won't infact it will lose power, not to mention you need to adjust timing for leaded gas

ask tuners how they feel about this subject.... I WIN

Does a higher octane gasoline make my car run better or increase its horsepower?

You should use the octane level fuel for your car that is recommended by the manufacturer. Purchasing a higher octane fuel than the engine was designed to run on will not make it perform better or increase its horsepower.


If it's barely pinging yes highering octane might help, but from what he is saying... I don't think the pinging has anything to do involving improper octane

ok so now you are throwing lead into the equation

take the highest valuve of UNLEADED race gas you can find, it will run comparable with a lower value if the car is tuned to the lower value fuel.

C16 will jack stuff up because you foul out the O2 sensor almost instantly. I went through way too many O2s in my Eclipse

sounds like the higher octane helped with detonation caused by the ambient temperature.
