Problem with running low quality low octane gasoline is your car will be locked into low octane mode even if you decide to run 91+ so you will not feel a difference in power since you are still running timing for low octane. You would have to a fuse pull every fill up of higher quality higher octane fuel.
I locked mine in high octane mode all the time. It never runs lower timing. This post I made in a fuse pull thread but it still explains why people that run shit gas don't feel the power increase when running better gas. There IS a difference. Quote:

Personally I did not buy the Camaro to pinch pennies, I prefer to work my butt off so I can always treat her nice. Wouldn't running 87 octaine also gunk your engine up more because it is not burning off at the rate of 93?
As far as 87 in the 93 slot at the pumps, you're using the same pump to obtain 3 different octaines of gas, you will get some left over of what the person before used. As well I suppose it is possible to get all 87 when paying for 93, have you never gotten a Sprite in a vending machine when you clicked for a Coke?

How did I contradict myself? I gave a brief synopsis of the topic and asked what others thought of this member's logic.

Saying most filling stations use 87 in all their tanks is a myth. There are some no doubt, BUT...
There are VERY tight restrictions and if a station is caught doing that or giving less fuel than advertised for the price, the fines are HUGE and the state can shut them down. |

If 91-93 is too expensive to put in your Camaro, then more then likely the Camaro is too expensive as well..

And yours is locked in low octane mode....on one of the fill ups you THINK is premium. Do you do a fuse pull every month? If not, your probably at low octane mode now.

I don't pull the fuse. I used hp tuners to copy the high octane timing map over to the low octane table. That way it's always running the timing for higher octane fuel even if it switches maps.

Side question: Do the 2013's still need a fuse pull when 87 is run? Or was it only a problem on the 10-12s?
