i have seen that this is true with stock internals and b elow 11.1 comp anything more and 91+ is usefull

Re: (Nerologic)
high octane gases are for high compression engines..
if you put low octane gas in a high compression engine.. then the gas will explode during compression before the spark plug ignites it..
on the other hand.. if you have a low compression engine.. then you can use low octane gas since it won't explode during compression.. and will explode when the spark plug ignites it which is what we want

the cars compression ratio is well under 10.0:1, anything over 87 will be a waste, and you will not gain power. higher octane=higher power is an old wives tale.

so very true

obviously you do not know what you are talking about when it comes to fuel.

no that would be very good, as 89+ will not be completely cumbusted, and will add carbon deposits to your valves, pistons, cumbustion chamber, and exhaust ports, and can lead to the clogging of your catalytic converter. what you need to do is pick a specific brand of fuel, and don't jump around from brand to brand. my preference is chevron. every oil company uses the same amount of detergent between there own grades of fuel. while you may find the off brand or mom and pop gas station cheaper, they still are selling a major companies fuel. they buy whatever brand of fuel is cheapest on the day of their order. this fuel is called generic brand fuel, but still comes from the major oil companies. the difference in price is because the detergent level in the fuel is only made to the minimum standars of the EPA resulting in the price difference, while the name brand stations level of detergent is much higher. this is why you may of heard in the past of people say they have gotten bad gas from that off brand.

until those bolt on include nitrous, forced induction, advanced timing, or something to raise compression 87 is all you will ever need
