I have used 87 for a few a while now. The comp will re-tune to the new octane. I get no ping or knock. I do notice a small lag when I punch the gas. Other than that, I notice not much difference in octane.

Other than that, I notice not much difference in octane. yup i made the mistake of filling with 87, no problems, but i liked it better with premium -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
