I heard that w/m injection will allow you to run 100 octane tuning with 93 octane gas. Does this mean you could safely run 87 octane with 93 octance tuning???

My thought was that if you have trouble finding 93 octane gas in your area AND you are really worried about using 91 octane (mods etc), then you could always buy a w/m kit ($200?) and have some peace of mind. Plus the w/m will be helpful in other ways. Atleast this is an option.
or
If you have a w/m kit, then you can run 87 octance and save some $$$ on gas ... assuming you dont spend all the savings on the methanol mixture.

91 and/or 93. I don't have turbo so running regular isn't that big of a deal. Here's an article from Car and Driver, hope it helps some:
"North American and European octane ratings use a different scale in the same way that 30 degrees is really hot in the EU but chilly in the U.S.A. The octane rating is a relative measure of a fuel's resistance to detonation-in the case of a gasoline engine, we're talking about knock. The octane rating comes from a standardized laboratory procedure. In Europe they use the Research Octane Number (RON). In North America we include the Motor Octane Number (MON) and average it with the RON; if you read the fine print on an octane label you'll see this referred to as the (R+M)/2 method. The MON is significantly lower than its comparable RON rating, and that's why American numbers are lower. In general, 91 RON is equivalent to 87 (R+M)/2, 95 RON matches to 91 (R+M)/2, and 98 RON is effectively 93 (R+M)/2 fuel." - C/D Using 91 should be just fine. My fuel door label specifies either 91 or 93; whichever you have access to at them time.

Ahahaha exactly what went through my head!
Stock, 91-93 octane is recommended. 87 is acceptable if higher octane is not available.
Chipped, at least 91 is a must to prevent MILs. 93 is recommended.
Done. Over. Kill this thread!
