thanks for that website link.... it was very informative and I'm sure it will help others to understand the differences in octane levels as well as how you can tell which octane will help your vehicle function properly.

Only if you are using an octane level higher than what is recommended in the owner's manual.

Higher compression ratio engines need higher octane levels. My friends 13:1 Comp. ratio 68 Bronco requires 110 Octane (118 Octane when he's on the bottle).

We (US) still get gas quite cheap compared to the rest of the world. We just got real used to gas in the $1-$1.50 range.
