Remember they are pumping 200 HP out 2.0 Litre engine, thats 100 HP per litre. I believe the CR is 11:1. Lude is 10.5:1 and its premium fuel only.

octane is to prevent detonation ONLY. if you can run 87 with no detonation why would you waste your money on 94 people? thats just idiotic, it has absolutly NO benefit.
run whatever gas is left in your car till your on the empty line then put in $10 of 87 start the car take it out for a hard full throttle pull in 3rd to about 7500rpm. if the cel doesnt come on run 87 if it does fill the rest of the tank with maybe 91 and next fill up do the same with 89.

people think oh boost gotta run 94 but that might not hold true if it doesnt knock with 91 why use 94?
