Big Jase Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Yes but try running your car 100% on high octane over thousands of miles, then dropping 3 octane the cars almost had a heart attackGtis are supposed to run on high octane, running lower octane can severly reduce the engine lifetime, yours will be 'knocking' quite a bit id say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
