so i guess my hairly modded regular V6 cougar in Savannah, GA(lol pretty much below sealevel  ) with 87 gas spraying a 75 shot should be blown up...and its got 108,000 miles to boot? NO! the motor is running just dandy ARSE! lol oh and BTW it doesn't have 87 in it anymore i just sprayed it that one time with that gas...then i went and filled up with 93 ever since. i bet 100 bucks that if we met this guy in person he would not act this way! i could see all of us surrounding him in a corner and saying "SO, WHAT DID YOU SAY WAS WRONG WITH PUMP GAS IN A 10:1 COMPRESSION MOTOR?" (with a Vin Diesel voice ofcourse) lol

Couple followups:
- The 320 mi. trip is from my place to my Mom's house, and I've made the trip probably 25 times in all types of weather. And yet the fuel mileage is always almost exactly the same. IMO I can eliminate weather from the equation.
About the only other non-PCM variable I can think of is that I somehow got an extra-full fill. This is unlikely, though, since I always use the same method when filling up.
- Other than timing, are there any other parameters that the PCM supposedly adjusts in response to octane?

Well I just got a lesson in octane, checked into this one out of curiousity and went to school. Let me throw you fuel experts a bone. I run a Mondeo V6 Dual fuel system. Runs Premium on the gasoline side and compressed natural gas [via a Bugatti System] I can switch back and forth from fuel to fuel, ie: leaving the city and entering the Autopista and switch over to gasoline. [ I use CNG primarily in the city because it's inexpensive and it burns very clean]In either case I detect no difference in performance. And the engine seems very smooth on either.

I guess you missed the sarcasm. My bad, I should have realized it was a little over your head. He didn't actually give a lecture before the wheelie, besides how scared of the car he was, I was just commenting on how rediculous the movie is, and how you all seem to live by it. If you stop watching it, and actually go out and learn something, you might be a little better off. You get it now?
BTW, what was up with loosing the floor pan in the Eclipse when the manifold pressure got too high?

Personal insults directed at the entire community (familiar with decimel/math, etc) are not the ways to get us to listen to, accept, or even talk about your "theory" there.
I suggest returning to whatever "shop" you came from, reading up a little bit, and returning when you can intelligently discuss whatever thoughts you may have, instead of insults..

Well, you were the first one to jump all over my arse about my "theory" and file it away under "whatever". Pretty rude about it too, so how do you get off tellin me who to insult and who not to?
AGAIN, I did not say you would blow your motor if you ran pump gas with 10:1 compression, I said any more than 9.8 you need to THINK about running a better grade of fuel. Again, 9.8 is pretty close to 10, I guess you still havn't got that part. That is why Ford did't build more than 10:1 compression into your engine. Or could they not get timing to handle any more compression?

So your sayin since you couldn't comprehend how to build any reliable power into your engine, you hooked up a bottle and a button and went to town? And you think you know enough about engines to actually talk about them? Not to mention you sprayed with 87 in the tank. Way to go. Running 7's yet? And if you were literate enough to read and understand my post, I didn't say you couldnt run pump gas in a 10:1 motor.

I sure would have a problem running a 650hp/630ft-lb motor on methanol if I didn't understand basic tuning huh?
