What's your combo? What are your goals? How much initial timing are you running?

lower octane=higher power as long as you aren't detonating. higher octane fuels are more stable (harder to burn) and release less energy.
enjoy!

try them all out, see which one you like best. I noticed a difference when I went from 87 to 91. Brand wise too. I use 76.

pick the lowest fuel that you can run your car with, without it detonating or pinging. That's the best fuel for your car. Racing fuel only works when the timing is advanced with it.
