    Re: So what happens if I toss some 100 octane into a stock motor?

    octane simply measures the fuels resistiance aganist knock.. you could use 100 in a car designed for 93 all the time if you wanted.. and could afford it, but there wouldn't be any difference from it being 100 octane.

    If anything the car just may run crappy and not get very good mileage. It's a common misbelief that running higher octane is better for a car or will yield more performance. Your best bet is to run what it's designed for. Same goes for a car that takes regular, not good to put premium in it.
