High Grade Gas and LQ1

[spiderw31]

whoops no its s 3.1L but I thought I would share

 

Still, thats interesting 'cause since I wouldn't expect the LQ1 to see an increase, I really wouldn't have expected one from the 3.1.

Isn't the octane number of gasoline a measure of it's inability to burn/detonate, which is why in order to burn higher octane gas you need a higher compression ratio? I'm asking because I've heard several people say(other than this forum) that using higher octane fuel in their cars makes them run like shit. So I guess that would mean that even though you are burning higher octane fuel, your engine isn't going to be able to burn it as efficiently as regular unleaded, unless your engine is made to run higher octane fuel. Here's where I got my info(yeah it's wiki, but anywho):

An SC car REQUIRES premium. We're talking about NA cars.
