The greatest place on earth!

C-Eh-N-Eh-D-Eh!

This isn't my opinion directly, it is a cut and paste but based on my Organic Chem knowledge I tend to agree.

"An octane number is only a measure of gasoline's ability to resist pre-ignition, also known as "knocking" or "pinging." If your vehicle does not ping or "run on" after the ignition is turned off, then you are using a gasoline with a high enough octane number. Any extra money that you pay for higher octane is wasted, as it will not contribute to increased mileage. Since fewer gallons of high octane gasoline than low octane gasoline can be made from a barrel of crude, it is a poor national energy strategy to waste crude oil to produce unnecessary octane."
