Default Too Much Octane???

Would it be harmful to my car if I put 100 octane gasoline in it??? Someone told me that it would increase my car's performance - Is that true?

You will be fine with a 100 octane. Yes, higher octane rated gas can increase the power of your car, but at such a high altitude as we are, I don't think it will do to much.

It's not worth the money unless you haved upped the compression (ala supercharger/turbo/nos/ or just headwork). Besides, the only place I know that sells the stuff is down in Salt Lake

Guess what? I know a place in Roy where you can get 100 octane - it's true.

Seriously??? Where? one of the deciding factors in me not going turbo is I didn't want to have to drive to Salt Lake to get gas

I'll have to show you the secret place this Sunday if we go for a drive. 100 octane for the "Silvers" - it's like candy for our cars!!!
