..........not at all. I am not sure it helps, but I am sure it does not hurt. Look for the unleaded one so you don't mess up your O2 sensors.

Your worst nightmare...
Don't you need to advance timing? Tune your ECU?? I thought this would not work if any it would slow you down....

I run Shell V-Power 100 octane - - - Goes good! - - - but only available in Europe (Germany) and it's about $6/gal or €1.40 /litre. Still probably less than VP Racing Fuels. Also a good idea to run some Techron Concentrate every 1,500-3000 miles.

Thanks guys.

Do you mix it 50/50 with 93 or fill the whole tank with 100?

You can do either or.

I'm using a mixture of 101 and 104. Since i have a custom ECU is does take advantage of the higher rating.
