Time to read some real facts. You'll find: The amount of fuel in a given volume may have more energy value but combusts at a different temperature than the same volume of fuel with a different rating. It's not the octane level of a fuel that cleans your engine but the additives. Using a different fuel than your engine is designed for is actually less efficient in terms of power produced, fuel burned and money spent.

Enjoy!
