bart i use premium in my VX always...
the way i figure it, for the extra 2 or 3 dollars a tank, i get better mileage (i have measured it), i get better perceived performance... and it cant be bad for the motor

I don't know exactly what gas you were looking at, but I have been involved in motorcycle racing for years. Bikes have very hi compression engines by comparison, usually 11-13:1. I know most racers, the first thing after a race drain the race gas out of their tanks & system, then fill it with pump gas. I don't know how true it is, but I've always heard race gas is VERY corrosive to the fuel system. Just my observation and 2 cents.

It is very likely to be corrosive. Just open that link to wikipedia & see the stuff they add to boost the octane rating.
The only thing worse would be to add acetone - sorry wrong thread.

My car has 12:1 compression, yet there is no performance gain from gas above 93 octane . The ecu is not programed too adjust to anything higher . I have yet to get any engine knock from 93 octane .Originally Posted by Doomer
The VX always gets 87 octane . Now if it was super charged I would definitely try higher octane gas.

You absolutely right !
I also use premium in my horse + drop twice a month a fuel booster in the tank & all i can say is way better,better acceleration,better MPG,better performance & helps maintain your fuel lines much more cleaner.
In regards of the 100 octane fuel i'll 1rst try with 1/2 tank,hit the highway with the tach ready to provide me results after the run
Dakar was just the begining.
