Putting anything higher than what's required is a total 100% waste of money. It doesn't make the car run better or anything.
not completely true. sometimes your car doesnt require any certain octane..but wont run w/out pinging on 87. so you have to run 89. your saving your engine by dong that,so i wouldnt call that a waste of money. .:shrug:Putting anything higher than what's required is a total 100% waste of money.

If you are pinching nickels, you can usually save a small amount by mixing your own highest and lowest octane to get a mid grade, that is pump some 93 then pump some 97.
for some reason it is usually cheaper that way if you do the math.

where the hell do you get 97?
That makes no sense, it is perfectly safe to mix 89/93. In fact if you do it in equal parts, you'd get 91 . Most new cars that require premium now use 91 as the octane considered 'premium'.I have heard that you can put 89 in it as long as you don't mix it with 93. I guess 93 (or premium only) has something to do with the compression ratio? Maybe?
We have ultra 94oct and also 104oct we have fantastic jungle juice in Canada.
I run freakin straight nitro methane in mine!

Hmm. I have never heard of premium with a 92 rating. Here we have some gas stations (the ones that I go to) that have 93, and some other ones that have 91. I always put 93 in mine. I wonder what happens if you put 87 or 89 in an SVT. Since it is supposed to be premium only, I always follow that, however, I have heard that you can put 89 in it as long as you don't mix it with 93. I guess 93 (or premium only) has something to do with the compression ratio? Maybe?
