Re: gas question
no it usually gives you less power and more harmful engine deposits, since the motor was not designed to run it. unless you have a hi compression motor that needs higher octane gas, all you are doing is wasting money.

Re: gas question
Only use higher octane if you hear a knock in the engine. Generally that's how you know if you need a higher octane.
