So, is it really bad if I use 89 octane fuel instead of the recommended 87 octane even if it reduces the knocking a little?

I read on one site (and only one) that using a higher grade fuel could damage the catalytic converter.

Is there a reason I see increased performance?

Oh my bad. You should mix your 87 octane with diesel fuel, 2:1 ratio, but don't go any higher than that or the knocking might get worse. That'll help stop the knocking. Seriously.

I missed the memo about ignoring douchebags in the Garage.

I ask a genuine question and you both fail to prove anything beyond your reliance on stupid antics.

I think it's more along the lines that we both despise your existence. You are definitely a tool, but not the kind of tool one would find in the garage.

no, it doesn't hurt anything. it's actually the opposite, very low octane gas can hurt the converter (like 85 and below) as will leaded gas (which is basically non existant in the mainstream market).

you should run the lowest octane rating gas your engine can handle without knocking.

gargs you just need to put the 87 octane in you flux capacitor resevior, and the 89 octane in your regular fuel tank, then when you fit 88 mph the knocking will stop

diesel fuel will reduce the knock even better. put a full tank in if you use 89 > 87. if you need 89 use it i put 87 in mine, and it runs fine. if it runs fine, put whatever in. end of story
