Very High Octane Gas
Hi everyone, I have seen some very high octane gas for sale in my town, I think it is 100 or possibly 102 octane. I was wondering if anyone has used something like this in their car. I am not sure if any extra HP gain would be worth the almost $10/gal!!!!

It's only gonna be worth it if your running a ton of boost.

A car will only benefit from higher octane gas if it requires it. Too unnecessarily high, and you might actually diminish performance. If you haven't significantly modded your engine (significant CR increase, or significant boost), all it will generate is more expensive exhaust.

I had a feeling that it would't make a difference, mine is naturally aspirated. 10 bucks a gallon just seems insane to me, even if I had a modded engine, I would go broke filling it up!
