High octane gas for 110F+ blistering summers?
#10
One exception where high octane gas will deliver more power is in an engine with a knock sensor. When knock is detected ignition advance is dialed back until knock is eliminated. I think some BMW's have this feature so to allow them to run on low octane fuel. Of course BMW's are designed to use high octane gas and this does not apply to most engines designed to run on regular gas like our CB's.
