Unexplainable Gas Mileage Increase
i usually avergae 250-260 per 10-10.5 gallons. I've never noticed any difference in power when switiching to 92 octane, except that my bank account clears out pretty fast, lol.
I have a really stubborn and mislead friend( he once told me blow off valves are available for Naturally Aspirated engines and that he can get a 'mod chip' for his pos chev cobalt and that it'll add a rediculous amount of hp for under 100$) and he has told me also that running your car on 92 octane was better for your car, and it keeps its running better for a much longer time and all this other crap... when i spoke to other people about the running on 92 octane, they all said that if you're not forced induction, or have a big block v8/10/12/ w16 etc, youre burning the fuel up faster and that there was no significant difference in performance

The thing that keeps me from ever even trying to move up to 89 or higher in octane is the fact that my engine is stock and our engines are engineered to run on 87, meaning that running higher octane more will leave unburnt fuel all over that gets worse with time. It may not be noticeable and you may be feeling more power, but I'll do whatever I can to keep my internals as clean as possible. Maybe its not a big deal, maybe I'm paranoid. But I'm gonna stick to what it's made for. Anybody else notice big mileage spikes with octane increase?
