its not an endless power trick man.. lighting your gas mix earlier causes pressure pushing DOWN on a piston on the UP stroke. this is counter productive to everything, will reduce power and cause damage. its just not necessary to time a car that high, nor is it beneficial.

i think 14 is the magic number. most cars wont knock, any more doesnt give any power, and it runs 87. aim for 14, call it a day. you're wasting money buying 91, and especially 100 octane.

a 5sfe is incapable of using the ecu to really benefit from higher octane fuel. it just doesnt have that programming, or mechanical capability. any perception of a gain from octane is purely in your head.
