    Correct you are zlilk...increasing your fuel grade past recommended makes no difference what so ever. Save your dimes & nickels people and stick to what the manual recommends.

    Here's another little tid bit of information- avoid gassing up when a fuel delivery truck is in the process of re-stocking tanks. It's the same line of thought as burning your VX tank down to near empty. You're getting sludge. In the case of your local "Exxon/Shell/BP 24hr Megaplex" the new fuel being pumped into the holding tanks is kicking up the crap settled down in the bottom. That little pearl came from a friendly local petro engineer despite the fact that the delivery guy will tell you otherwise.

    My manual say to use 87 octane (or higher),I have been told the higher the octane the better it burns which makes the motor run better and less sluggish.I duno for sure but i use 93 octane anyway,to me a few pennies is no big deal.and its a good thing there are inline filters on the fuel pumps and on my vehicles cause i would run out of fuel if i didn't fuel up when the stations are getting fresh fuel,seems like there always getting new fuel lol.
