AAaaah . . . now that's really interesting . . . Searching for the info now, not much luck yet. Just need to get my laptop up and running, and I'll be able to check it myself.

If, in fact, a fuel w/ an octane rating greater than 87 allows the ECU to advance timing more, the next question is: Does that actually equate to a more efficient engine? (and of course, is the difference significant enough to offset the increase in fuel price?) No easy way to test that w/out a dyno . . . Maybe an accelerometer like a G-tech is sensitive enough, I dunno.
