Re: 100 octane fuel?

I got a '07 TRD myself, sure do love her...

I have found that with higher octane fuel I get better mileage. Have never felt any power change, but with the mileage change, I would say that it must help the power as well.

As for 100 octane gas, it sure should help out a charger. You still have a low compression motor (10.1 to 1 I think, to me the real changes come at 11 or better compression), and that lowers the change you will feel from high octane, but I am sure it will help. I don't have any motor mods, but I bet I would even feel a bit more pep with 100. As far as I know, you will never damage any motor with higher octane gas. It just won't change anything on low compression motors.

My bike has a 11.1 to 1 compression, it will not run on pump gas. I have to add octane boost to every fill-up. Every few times a year, I go to the race track and get 108 octane. The bike feels that real nice. It starts faster, gets better mileage, and flies when I give 'er.
