Speaking of octane, I did some reading (of course everything you read is true) about turbo engines and octane, and the theoritical and some proven benifits of increaseing octane. At summit, I used some Lucas octane booster (suposidly "not road legal" and according to some independant tests it really did raise the octane anywhere from 5-10 points) in the XR. The engine seemed to feel smoother, and run cooler, but in reality it wasn't a night/day difference. Peace of mind maybe... enough so that I will probably continue to use it or get the higher octane gas at the track.
