Octane

I've only had my 07 IRL for a few monthes so I was wanting to know if anyone can tell the difference between 92, 93 and 94 octane? I don't race my car. Just use it to go to work and stuff, but as soon as the weather warms up here I will be riding my Duc every chance I get. Thanks

On a bone stock one, no, but as soon as you start pulleying and tuning you will know it. I have mine tuned for 93, and if I go to the beach where I can only get 92, I feel it.

If you own a performance car, there really is no reason not to get the highest octane available to you. Just my 2

ehh.. for stock car, there is really no reason to get 94oct over 91/92 IMHO.

If you're tuned/calibrated for a certain fuel though, then you need to get that fuel every time
