Tried 100 octane at Sears Point, no difference whatsoever. The car and your WR ECU are optimized for good old 92 pump gas.

You're lucky to get 100 Octane fuel! The most refined we've got here in Aus is 98RON, and JDM Soarers rely on 100RON fuel to operate to maximum efficiency. We get things last or not at all... go figure!!

For some reason, I had always thought 100 octane would fry your engine instantly....too lean for the pistons to handle....maybe Im just thinking too much?? Anybody ever thought or heard anything abou this?
