i said a while back, right on this board that " I didnt notice any difference" between regular 87 octane and high test 92 octane.
So I let my friend/mechanic take it for a test drive today and he told me it was pinging real bad in 4th and 5th gear when you get got on it.
Said I should be using high test gas.
I cant notice it, is my hearing that bad? what did you say? huh? what?

Also said to find a gas pump with a dedicated high test hose, not one with all three reg, mid, high, together, as when they are together you may still be getting regular even when it says 92 octane!

So with that said, I will be using high test from now on.
