blue2000s, landrovered, Thanks for the very informative discussion, heck with searching Yahoo or Google you just explained a lot.

Question, what do high performance and luxury cars gain by using higher octane at the simplest level. I understand the delayed combustion but why is that important to the manufactures? Does it allow these cars to run at higher rpm's and not experience pre-ignition thus controlling energy output?

Thanks guys.
