Default fuel octane differences?

While researching the new 08s, it said that it will crank 273 instead of 268 while running 93 octane? Is this the same deal with the 6th gen? Will our cars gain noticable differences running 93 instead of 87?

lol no

91/93 Octane is much more compressible than 87.

You need to run what the motor tells you to run.

Put 87 in a 91/93 it'll explode quicker and cause the motor to ping and what not.

Put 91/93 in an 87 and it'll explode later

Not what you want to do.

There is no performance gain what so ever and it'd just be a waste of money.
