Thanks.
Very trueIf the car is specced for 87 Octane, it doesn't help anything to put higher octane gas in unless the computer is designed to advance the timing if it senses the better fuel.

Hmm, sounds good to me.
I just have 1 question.
My current vehicle is a 4runner with the V6. The manual recommends premium, but I don't see why I should put it in, so I've been putting the cheaper stuff in.
Would car manufacturers lie about what kinda octane they recommend?
