Your engine is built for Natural 95 gas and when you give there 100 or 98 it will blow sooner than the spark comes.In my opinion high octane gas is no advantage.

ROFL....

well, basically - i did some reading and *cough* i am right....

octance is more of a requirement than a desire, it's other properties of fuel that gives you "boost"... like NITRO METHANE.... *doh*....

higher octane is required to run higher compression....
