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?



Wow, seems like the ocatane rating may have something to do with performance and fuel economy according to cylinder pressure. Whadda ya think guys? Or does his experiment bend the rules of your logic? How hard headed can you be, actual hard results, and you tell him, along with me, no way. Sounds about right.
