are you tuning or what reason do you need such high octane?

High octains make your o2 sensors and cats go out faster... due to the dumping of unburt gasses into the exhaust system but if you are going cross country and will be doing 75+mph most of the time then higher octains are OK!

For that reason, I stick to Unocal, Chevron, Shell. But that might be overdoing it.
Call the state Dept of Weights and Measures. They LOVE busting thieving gas stations.

I see Arco stations close down for a month at a time, and I know they're not retrofitting their equipment every 12 months. But they reopen again 1 month later, so what is W&M doing? Slap on the wrist. It seems that Arco doesn't learn.

yeah i know what high octane does, but why would you spend so much on 103 if you were just driving on the road, and not turning up boost and tuning.
